Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hi Sharon - Are you aware that taking the herb, milk thistle, can help your liver? I've taken it a couple times when my liver enzymes came back high and both times the herb helped bring it back to normal. Now I just continue to take it because of all the meds I'm constantly on. Take care. Jeanne in WI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 My liver enzymes were up once following abdominal surgery. This is a fairly common occurence. Then this past Oct. they were up for unknown reasons, probably due to the meds I am on. I try to watch how much Tylenol I take, but really think it is all of them combined. So taking the milk thistle is just sort of to help the liver out some. Yesterday I felt lousy due to stress and IBS. Hopefully today is a little better. At least the snow storm went south of my area this time. Think Spring. Jeanne in WI I know about milk thistle only because a friend has used it, but did not realize the actual benefit of it, as she never told me, except she felt better. I have thought about getting it lately. Have your enzymes come back high because of the meds you have been on for disease?, or just unknown. I have not had mine come back elevated yet but other symptoms and knowledge of long term use of these meds I know can be damaging. But use to eat handfulls of tylenol a day, so no different than the pain med. I just don't feel good anymore, and notice nausea alot, wonder if my liver is going to act up now. Thanks for the info. I am definitley going to invest in it now. Hope fibro goes easy on you today. Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
