Hi Harsimran,

The only side effect milk thistle has is that it can act as a MILD laxative when taken in very high doses. It is a very safe herb to use.

Hi,
     I take milk thistle everyday. I feel it definitely helps me with the chronic constipation I have had all my life, and I think it makes me feel better by eliminating toxins. This is just my opinion - I don't have any scientific info. Good luck, Jean

Andy Battaglia:
I also take milk thistle daily. It is a good blood purifier and useful for many conditions. Since iron is constipating, a gentle laxative effect is most welcome for thals. I also know at least two other members of our group who have regularly taken milk thistle to help battle hepatitis. Both have said that it has made a positive effect and improved their LFT's (liver function tests). One of them has taken huge doses of milk thistle with no side effects. Almost any article you can find about treating hepatitis naturally will mention milk thistle.
