I have an update on taking Alpha Lipoic for incontinence. I further discovered that Alpha Lipoic can cause weight loss. I hadn't read that in any of the other side effects that I read about it. However, I started losing weight; about 10 lbs. My doctor stopped the Furosemide, (water pill) which helped some but I still was losing weight. I stopped taking Alpha Lipoic. I'm still losing some weight because of the incontinence but not as much as I was. Also the incontinence has leveled off or I'm getting better at managing it! (Less unexpected accidents.) Does anyone have any suggestions on really fattening foods? Other than the obvious, ice cream and cheesecake! I do know that avocados have 400 calories. I'm waiting for 2 to ripen.
Thanks so much for your suggestions!
