Side effects Nutritional Supplements

[toohighheels]

Hello,
I'm new to the forum.
I just started the MWO nutritional supplement regime a week ago. I'm having slight diarrhea and wondered could it be the Kudzu or milk thistle perhaps? I haven't started taking the Topomirate yet because I just got the prescription today, so I know it's not that.
Any helpful ideas appreciated.

Hi toohighheels (welcome):

Milk thistle can sometimes cause stomach upset and diarrhea. Maybe scale back a bit on it and see if that helps.

Also I just found here:

Side Effects of Milk Thistle, Milk Thistle side effects, and Milk Thistle extract

"The way to avoid it, is to take in some fiber along with your supplement, then you should be good to go." [Or make sure not to take on an empty stomach is also recommended]

I am not an expert though, and have not experienced that side effect myself. I am sure others will chime in who have had similar experiences.

Thanks, I'll try that.
