Herbs - Milk Thistle - Contraindications / Precautions / Warnings

There are no known contraindications.

Milk thistle can cause nausea and loose stools. When dealing with a gallbladder situation, they may cause a sudden, unwanted contraction of the gallbladder, either causing an acute attack or, at worst, lodging the stone in the duct. It is important to consult with your naturopath or other health practitioner if you choose to use this herb to deal with gallstones.
