woodlandT...I took it years ago if needed for intestinal woes. My best friend believes in it. It seemed to work. May I ask why you take it?

Sounds good to me. Have you asked Dr if it’s safe on the liver?

Are you on Urso? I don't know much about the actions of 'activated charcoal' or whether there are any risks with milk thistle - although I know it's necessary to be careful about purity. However, if your PBC Consultant is happy for you to try these and they don't upset the working of the Urso, I guess it's okay.

Good luck, keep us posted.
