Supplement with alchohol in it preventing healing?


[fi...]

Recommended Posts

I'm 25 months off klonopin. When I was 19 months off I started a liquid supplement called gymnema for type 2 diabetes. I just realized today that it has 23% alchohol in it. I took 1 teaspoon 3 times a day. Is this preventing healing? My symptoms are kind of all over the place and always have been so it's kind of difficult to correlate any symptoms to when I started taking it. Needless to say I'm not going to take it anymore. Has anyone else to a supplement with alchohol in it and did it set you back? Thanks for any replies.

I noticed that alcohol made my symptoms worse, even at just a few sips. If you think it might be correlated you could ask the pharmacy if they could mix it with something else. My gut reaction is that it's mixed with alcohol cause that's what the medication will dissolve into. It's possible that you won't be able to change it. I don't think overall that it will impair your healing but it might make you feel bad. It's more important that you take your diabetes medication. 

Are you vomiting a lot? Super dizzy and can't drive? Those would be indicators that maybe you might want to address.

Thanks for the replies. The gymnema is from a functional medicine doctor, not from a pharmacy. I havent taken it since yesterday and I don't really feel any different. I can get the gymnema in pill form though, so I won't have to worry about three alchohol in the liquid supplement affecting me.
