You might try some taurine, which helps with bile flow and gall bladder symptoms. Start at 1000mg a day, and may go up to 2000. This is simple and no side effects. Ask your doctor about milk thistle also...as it is often used for liver problems.
Taurine works by binding to cholesterol which is passed into the bile and thru the gall bladder into the GI tract for elimination there via the stools. Taurine helps the bile flow better, so it doesn't irritate the passages, and cause crystallization and inflammation.
I bet autoimmune liver disease is more common than diagnosed.

Thanks Mrs D,
I've been taking milk thistle for a year now and find that it doesn't help. I will definitely look into the taurine. I just dont see how none of the doctors would have checked me for this given how severe my neuropathy and dysautonomia is. From what I'm researching, I'm finding that doctors say it absolutely must be treated with steroids to chemo drugs. I am freaking out and also happen to be in a terrible flare, so getting these results today is hard to take after 3 bad nights of autonomic problems and shooting pains. I'm just so sad. Now I have to try to find a hematologist who specializes in this seeing as how I've been tossed around and this was misses by the "best".
