bws1565 Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I know people have been successful with this, but here is what I know. Milk thistle is a "Liver Protector". Your liver is supposed to protect you. So milk thistle has a very good chance of causing adverse reactions based on that it will protect your liver from detoxifying your body. I know somebody who had lots of adverse reactions to milk thistle and all this stopped when she stopped taking it. I have used a herbal supplement called "Liver Balance" from company "Pure Body Institute of Ventura" and was very happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trintiybella Posted March 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Thanks so much for your response. She has been so much worse and I just can't figure out what the problem is. I will stop it for a few days and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowingmom Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Milk thistle is in the same family as ragweed. Apparently if you are allergic to ragweed you may have trouble with supplementing milk thistle. This is not the case for me however. I have significant ragweed allergies but am fine with milk thistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
