I had read that Milk Thistle is good for liver detoxification, but after I started taking it, read somewhere else that it's good for phase I but NOT phase II (the latter is what's slowed down with GS). Determined to get to the bottom of it, I've been searching the internet and found a study that basically says silybin inhibits the glucuronidation of UGT 1A1. Unless I'm reading this wrong (someone else read it and tell me!), I guess I'll take Milk Thistle off my list of supplements...
I'm not a doctor or dietician, but I was recently diagnosed with Gilbert's Syndrome and try to do whatever I can to feel better! I am always looking for new information about GS and learn something new every day. If I can help others on my journey, I'm happy to pass along whatever information I can. I made this blog for tips and recipes that may make life with GS a little easier to bear.
