Anyone tried natural remedies or products for PBC and/or CREST symptoms even possible remission?

PBC CREST

[donna01]

Such as what?

I was taking milk thistle. After I was started on Urso and was having monthly blood tests I stopped taking the milk thistle to see if it was helping. It was not. So, although milk thistle is touted as a good herb for the liver, it did not do anything to improve PBC.

I take NAC and currcummin.

I also take a digestive enzyme called Biofibrin daily, away from food.

Have you tried Alpa Lipoic Acid? I take 600 mg a day and it lowered my AST and ALT quite a bit.

Coffee is the only thing that immediately springs to mind. It can help at the fibrosis stage before it develops into full blown cirrhosis.

There's loads of articles on it including this one:

It's also been talked about on this site several times over the years - if you do a search for coffee-fibrosis, you should find quite a bit to back it up.
