my poor feet

Post by Cincygirl »

I'm not on here much, and awhile ago, I asked if the tingling, sensitivity in my feet could be connected to LC, and yes it is. Ok, does anyone have any recommendations on how to get some relief? Thanks again

Peripheral neuropathy is often associated with diabetes, but it can also occur due to neurological damage caused by gluten sensitivity. I don't have diabetes but I do have peripheral neuropathy. I treat it with a prescription vitamin mix known as Metanx, which consists of large doses of the active forms of vitamins B-12, B-9, and B-6.

Hi Cincy,

You can pick up the metanx equivalent of b vitamins over the counter or on line. I bought the metanx equivalent of B vitamins at vitamin shoppe. I'm taking the equivalent of 1 metanx per day. I believe the prescription dose is two per day.

3 mg of L-methylfolate Calcium

I have the same problem, but can't take the metanx. Tex I think you are right about me being one who can't handle large doses...anyway, alcohol exacerbates the problem for me, so if you drink at all you may want to stop for a while. Oddly enough, the thing that helped my tingling go away was the zyrtec. Now I do not know if this was because the zyrtec helped lower the inflammation that was causing the tingling, or if the histamine in my feet was causing it. Anyway, I just wanted to share what worked for me. I am so sorry about this for you! Makes it hard to sleep :neutral:

Let us know if you find something that works. I definitely think you should try the metanx. It worked for me at first.
