My liver issues - Luteolin, Modified Citrus Pectin, and more

Posted , 3 users are following.

So I haven't been diagnosed as having liver issues but do know that I'm having them. I don't go to doctors because it is too much trouble these days and I don't put a lot of trust in them.

So I drank a lot at least until this past thanksgiving. I haven't drank since and don't intend to. I was drinking about two 30 packs of Bud light per week up to that point. I'm usually big on supplements - got me through the years. Haven't seen a doctor in probably over a decade easily and even then it was for discomfort from drinking.

I was not having good stool - meaning it was runny and turned yellow along with a yellow liquid. Lots of inflammation in my abdomen. I carry a shelf around I like to say. Needless to say I'm probably a 100 lbs overweight. So I started my research and found that Magnesium is highly deficient in many Alcoholic Cirrhosis patients - interesting since I know Alcohol depletes it. And adding it back to my research shows that it is positive for fibrosis patients.

So what I was able to find was that a couple of supplements (in addition to the usual such as NAC, Milk Thistle, Dandelion, etc..) were implicated in possibly positive role as well such as Luteolin and Modified Citrus Pectin

I also had read how Coffee was helpful and also another potential therapy of a combination of Testosterone and Thiamine.

Anyone tried any of these things and what was your result or if not what is your thoughts?

    not sure what liver issues of your diagnosis? Is it related to alcohol AUD? According to the link it refers to binge drinking.

    My son was a binge drinker since a teen he passed away recently from a lot of health issues from binge drinking at 41 yrs. it broke my heart.
