I recently tried pure D-Ribose from the health food store (with the trademark of the one that was recommended from an article/study that I read but not the exact same brand-name but still pricey) and I saw marked improvement after 24-hours, with lessening of my pain and an increase in energy - yes, really that quickly!  However, unfortunately, it also caused me terrible GI distress.  It felt like I had crushed glass in my stomach. I belched all the time and it was uncontrollable. It caused terrible heartburn. I tried taking it several different ways also - even under my tongue (it is a sorta sweet tasting powder), placed it in gelatin capsules and took it with food and/or milk, but nothing helped. I had to stop it completely after a week. I was SO disappointed as I really think it could have helped me tremendously. I hope that anyone that tries this will not have the side effects I did (I have a hx of GERD and IBS so I am sure that played a part in this.) Please keep us posted if you try it. I personally think it is well worth a try! |

I feel less alone and happier. Here I can let out all my emotions and get support from many people who have been in similar situations. It really has been a life saver for me!" (Amanda78)
