Milk Thistle for liver but have allergies - Liver & Pancreas Disorders Message Board

I have fatty liver as well as gallbladder issues. I would like to take Milk Thistle to see if I get any benefit. However the bottle says that you should not use this if you have allergies to things like ragweed, etc. I do have allergies and am now afraid to take the Milk Thistle. Has anyone had experience with this??

I take Milk Thistle 3 times daily and can vouch for how damn good it is for your liver. If you are unsure in regards to allergies, have a chat with your doctor before taking it - but if you get the green light, I can highly recommend it.

I am personally not aware of any other natural remedy for liver protection though, but your doctor may be able to advise otherwise.
