What Causes Abdominal Pain And Low Hemoglobin Levels?
Hi I think I have metal because I started to have abdominal pain and low hemoglobin . I had abdominal and pelvic ultrasonund and are normal. Also I had a CT scan of abdomen and said I have a inflammation if small intestine. My bowel movement is normal. I want to start chelation with EDTA.
Since you have already been diagnosed with inflammation of bowels, the abdominal pain and low hemoglobin (due to blood loss seen in inflammatory bowel disease and chronic inflammation) are likely due to the inflammatory bowel disease rather than lead poisoning. However, if you are too concerned about lead poisoning a simple finger prick test can rule out the possibility. Only confirmed lead poisoning cases require chelation therapy.
