I have just been told that at 285 my alk phos is too high and I should start another drug called ezetimibe on top of the urso. I have to stop breastfeeding my 15 week old as a result so I just wanted any thoughts on this prior to taking this step which I'm quite upset about.

Alk phos level and ezetimibe
I have no information on ezetimibe. I feel you on the breastfeeding though. In my case, I was very jaundiced while pregnant and they did not know why. I have sections so my dr noticed my uterus was jaundiced. My amniotic fluid was yellow. My breast milk was neon yellow which we did not know until my baby started vomiting it up during the week they kept me at the hospital.
At that point the hospital pediatrician advised discontinuing breastfeeding. I was very upset. I cried to our pediatrician at his first check up and he said formula has come a long way and it was going to be okay. He said I could consider pumping until we figured out my health issues which my husband objected to because he said I needed to focus on healing.
Anyway, I'm sorry this is happening to you. Our baby is thriving. He's 4 months old now. He is big and healthy. So the formula agrees with him. Nursing was important to me. I felt so guilty and so sad though so I get it. I hope that you get some more information and make peace with it. ❤
