    I would use Synthergine for a liver protectant over Milk Thistle.
    If you stay on the Milk Thistle I would cut the dose down to see
    if that helps with the bowel movements.

    Actually i have taken MT for a long period of time and finally i got the runs really bad from it. So yes it does cause diarrhea. I stopped after that happened but i use it on occasion to get my liver exzymes to be normal. It doesnt do what i want it to so i am looking for a product that will get me into normal range. Anyways i would suggest to not use it for a long period of time. I used it stright for 6 months and thats when i tooted alot.
