I've read that certain apples help with reflux or using organic apple cider vinegar. It's like the old saying: "an apple a day keeps the doctor away". I have the cider in my arsenal of supplements as well for this reason. I take as needed. |

I saw my Neuro this past Weds, and I made it a point to ask him about his previous remark. He said that it wasn't that he didn't like ALA, he meant that only 15-20% of his patients which he he told to try it, actually responded to it. When you need help with pain, ALA is not so expensive that it's not worth the gamble that it might benefit you.

You ought to show that doctor the statistics for Neurontin...
30% only respond to it according to a meta-analysis of the studies from past years. http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/post829091-8.html And some recent studies on Lyrica...show not much effect for diabetic neuropathic pain. Do you think this stops your doctor from giving these drugs? (with the awful side effects and high costs)

Thanks for this post. I was getting really bad acid reflux after recently starting on the R Lipoic acid, 100 mg. I was blaming it on the gabapentin and had no idea! Stopped the R Lipoic acid and it is gone! I was waking up in the middle of a sound sleep thinking I was going to throw up and had no idea what it was. It was also happening during the day, 4 or 5 times a day. I am now taking Alpha Lipoic acid, 300 mg, with no problems.
