A member asked:
Can milk thistle pills cause stomach discomfort?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Milk thistle may cause diarrhea or, more rarely, nausea, bloating, gas, & upset stomach. If you are allergic to ragweed, milk thistle might cause an allergic reaction since it belongs to the same family. Women with fibroids or endometriosis or breast, uterine, or ovarian cancers should not take milk thistle due to its estrogenic effects.
