On the ongoing Milk Thistle issue-
The ONLY thing I could find on the subject was an interaction warning on a website selling Milk Thistle:
"Drug Interactions:
Use of milk thistle extract may lower blood glucose levels in diabetics and interfere with existing hypo- or hyperglycemia therapy, therefore careful monitoring of blood glucose levels is required in these cases. Hypoglycemic drugs include: insulin, Glucophage(R) metformin, DiaBeta(R) Glynase(R) glyburide, Glucotrol(R) glipizide). "
Milk Thistle So, apparently it may not be the best of things. I was reading some other websites and I read some woman's site who was taking both met and Milk Thistle with no perceivable problems, but I would rather be safe than sorry. I'm gonna call my doc and see what he says...I'm especially curious because I just started met but I've been taking a supplement with milk thistle in it for months, so...
HTH. Let me know if anyone else figures this out!
