Bad Reaction To Milk Thistle?

Did your child have an adverse reaction to milk thistle?

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.

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.

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.
