I had a very rough time with zetia, though I didn't have my liver functions tested during that time. Another supplement that is good for the liver is SAM-e. I had a gastro at a prestigious hospital say that he recommended it for patient who couldn't take other liver drugs when I told him I was taking it for arthritis but it had helped my liver tests come back to normal. It's expensive, but NatureMade brand is frequently on sale 2 for 1, so I buy it then.
Thanks Harry I picked up some Milk Thistle and marked my calender to see what if any results are made by the time I go back to the Dr. I called him to see if he could get me into an gastrologist before I see him again but he wants to talk to me about it first so I will keep doing what I'm doing till March 2. Usually takes till Monday after to get blood test results. I recently had the endoscopy done at the same time as colonopsy too! All came out okay! So this is definately related to my liver! I feel the culprite was Meridia which I was taking for seaveral months to try to jump start some weight loss! I was also on seaveral other medicines and I have trouble sleeping at night so I would take either Tylonal Nighttime or nighttime sinus. To help me sleep! I'm not big on water so I would take it with pop and even sometimes with wine if that was what I was drinking! I know that's a no no!! So now I am only taking 3 medicines. I am trying to cut back on them too! It's bad to get old Harry! Your body falls apart and next thing you know your taking 7 different things to keep going!! Thanks for your input!
Thanks for your response! I had both endoscopy and colonopsy done just recently and everything was fine! I also had an ultra sound done that revealed I have a fatty liver. I took my self off seaveral medications and cut WAY!! back on my wine intake! When I had my last blood test my liver enzymes were down, not back to normal but headed in the right direction! I go back on the 2 of March for more blood work and hopefully things will be down even more! Hopefully by the time I have another ultra sound my liver will have gone back to normal?? Not sure how long they wait to take another one! I'm trying to detox as much as posibble! Thanks for your response sadtummy!
Toots,
I have been married for 52 year this August so I know about getting old.
AS you know everything that you intake is converted and worked on by your liver.
Since your body is made up of 70% water, you should try to drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water daily.
Sodas just contain too much corn syrup.
Thanks Harry for your tips! I am trying to consume more water or water containing drinks like green tea! It's hard for me because I'm not a big water person so it has to be cold and have a little flavor or It is hard to swallow! I bought a gallon jug of water and when I'm not drinking decf. coffee or tea, I drink some of that! I plan on getting some of those crystal lite packets to put some flavor to my water to make it easier to drink! Thanks again!
