I wouldn't do rounds cutler style pretty much with issues like that but small doses here and there probably would be worth a try and safe without a doc if you need to save the money. Just 25 mgs DMSA to start. maybe with 25 mgs ALA, and plenty of water. Just one time and watch for reactions. If his tummy hurts a glass of milk should sooth it and make the dmsa rather useless too.

I hadn't given my daughter any in a while... your post reminded me so i gave her 50 mgs DMSA the other evening before bed... about 3 days ago. Yesterday the kid lets out a bm so big it took 3 flushes to get the monster down the toilet and the smell of metal in the bathroom was alarming. I asked her how she felt when i got a whiff of it, because really a major metal smell, and she said it felt like she was going to get her period, slightly achy down there... but she just had it a couple weeks ago... I know metals can make me feel that way too... but anyway i gave her a bunch of mineral supplements last evening... today she comes home from school and tells me she ran 10 times around the track at school today. I asked her how she felt she said she felt great, no cramping nothing.

10 times around the track ! ... that's great. She never used to be able to do even once or twice around without cramping.
