Has anyone tried Milk Thistle?

A friend who had her gallbladder removed some years back recommended it.

I am 10 weeks po and still battling with digestive issues.

Looking for the right supplements to help with my recovery.

    10 weeks is not very long for recovery (although i know it feels like it) and some say 6 weeks. from my experience and what I have read previously on here I would be cautious. I did try milk thistle after about 6 months but after a few days I notice my right side squeezing after I'd taken it. I asked on here and one lady very sensibly I thought said that your liver is learning to cope don't put any more demands on it with extra things. so I would say if you do try it keep an eye out of the effects.

    HI Becky I have been taking milk thistle for about 15 years due to weak digestive system. I had my gall bladder removed 12 months ago and needed no pain relief and healed very quickly. I would certainly recommend it to you. No side effects.
