Re: Licorice May Block Effectiveness Of Drug Widely Used By Transplant

Shoot – I love licorice!

[Guest guest]

I may be mistaken, but I seem to recall that most " licorice " these days is

artifically flavored. You might check the packaging of your favorite treats.

Jeez, we give us so many things due to this illness, I hope that you can find

some licorice that will satisfy you and not cause problems!

athan,

This is interesting, people in Scandinavian

countries and in Holland

eat a lot of licorice. I think in Sweden

it is called Salmiak or something like that, and in Holland we call it Drop. The thing is that in

these countries PSC is also more prevalent. I am not saying that licorice is

the cause, but maybe it accelerates liver disease. I love licorice, especially

the very salty ones. I stopped eating them since I know I have PSC since too

much salt dehydrates. But it is entirely possible that I ate too much licorice

before that.

From Wikipedia:

" Excessive consumption of liquorice or liquorice candy is known to be

toxic <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxicity>

to the liver

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver>^[16] "

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Licorice#cite_note-15>

There are other health concerns with excessive licorice consumption. I

think that most is artificially flavored now, but it's probably best to

be sure before eating large amounts if you have liver disease!
