I got this from an article online and I take two Tylenol everyday, pain from prostate cancer that has spread to my spine.

Acetaminophen use
Regular, frequent use of acetaminophen (Tylenol) can cause lactic acidosis, even when it’s taken at the correct dosage. This is because it can cause an accumulation of pyroglutamic acid, an amino acid byproduct, in the blood.

Also the gastric bypass problem after surgery with lactate acidosis.
