12 years post op and take liquid gabapentin. Recently I've been having acid reflux and have never had acid reflux in the past.
Anyone else experience this whole taking gabapentin?
It might just be time for a checkup
ALK PHOSPHATASE 27 IU/L 40 - 150 IU/L
Low levels
Lower than normal ALP levels in your blood is rare, but can indicate malnutrition, which could be caused by celiac disease or a deficiency in vitamins and minerals.
The highest it's ever been was 30 in 2009 & 2013.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I am going to see the doctor again for this issue as it's affecting my sleep & then affects my daily life. Here are what my labs showed in Sept.

Hello! I had labs done in Sept. I struggle with low magnesium & my body doesn't store iron. Thank you for highlighting the iron. I'll call tomorrow & ask if I can have a recheck.
Magnesium Injection: has anyone had a magnesium injection & can tell me how long it stays in the body & or how long between injections? I've been using the powder but I continue to have charlie horses/cramping throughout my entire body. This has been going on for nearly a year & I'm at my breaking point. I toss & turn a lot at night & with each turn at least one foot will cramp. Sitting on a step to put shoes on, my stomach will cramp. My eye lid twitches all the time. Those are a few examples. Thank you!
Please don't ever put down the drs & staff without knowing them first hand because it gives others the wrong impression.
