Hmmm, I"m not sure if giving anymore time to the completely dairy free diet will be overly helpful? It's possible it may take longer, because it takes me 6-8 weeks to recover/improve after a cheat (but most people get improvements earlier than that).
But regardless of such diets, the culprit that forces one to be so strict is still at work. Whatever that is. In your case, if ALA gives improvements (or sometimes exacerbation) of symptoms, you've probably already nailed the problem. Chelation is the key, or one of them anyway. Butit would be nice to still gain further improvement during the lengthy time of chelating wouldn't it? And not knowing what other issues might be at work. Whether they're more superficial or part of the cause.
I'm sorry the dairy free hasn't proven effective so far Linda.
Let's just hope future ALA will make you feel a bit better again!
