Liver Cleanse - I don't know if I should try again

Hello!

It's been several years since I have posted. I have a long story but I do think it goes back to my liver.

In 2005 I started having a lot of pain under my right rib cage. When it started it was extremely painful. At that time I had a CT scan and ultrasound that ruled out kidney and gallstones. (I have since had 1-2 more ultrasounds and no gallstones)

Long story short they could never find anything wrong and I have been living with upper right quadrant pain for the past 10 years.

I have a ton of the signs of a sluggish/toxic liver along with a background of bowel issues including a time in the hospital for an intestinal infection that almost killed me from taking Antibiotics . It was after that episode all my bowel issues started.I believe that in conjunction with a very poor diet were to blame.

My symptoms are Acne (mostly blackheads, some cystic), constipation (IBS-C), upper right quadrant pain that is almost constant (radiating between a dull ache and pain), chemical/medication sensitivity. I cannot take Sam-E, Tylenol, or DIM. It makes the right upper quadrant pain almost unbearable.

In 2006 I tried a series of Liver Flushes and didn't have much success. I prepped for months by using all of the herbs found on Sensible Health.com, Curcuma, Chinese Bitters, and Gold Coin Grass.

Drinking the olive oil/juice mix pretty much almost made me throw up and also intensified my pain for days afterwards, leading me to believe I had incomplete flushes. I tried Epsom Salts with one flush. Out of the 3 flushes I got a bit out on one of them if I remember right, but the pain quickly returned.

In 2007 I tried some of barefoot's wormer and flushed what looked like tons of liver flukes.

Since then though I have not tried to do any more flushes.

Fast forward 10 years and I have slightly elevated liver enzymes for the past year, and they diagnosed me NAFLD. I have made drastic changes for the better to my diet since this past August but I still have a lot of acne, constipation, and right side pain as well as now having a layer of fat around my belly I have NEVER in my life had. No amount of exercise/diet change it helping it either.

I made the mistake of doing BHRT in pellet form last June. I believe the overdoses of pellets really taxed my adrenals and liver. I had a whole host of awful symptoms and now have residual 10lbs of belly fat that I have never had before that won't go away at all.

I am wanting to possibly try another series of liver flushes, but honestly I am afraid it will be for nothing and I really don't want the pain to be worse. It can get really bad.

Can someone help with some recommendations of anything else I can do to make a successful flush? I read that beets thin bile, so I am trying to eat those. I also have been drinking dandelion root tea and taking milk thistle.

Right now I am on a pretty heavy duty regiment to heal my gut, but I will be honest I think it is taxing my liver as it's a lot of supplements. Constipation is a huge issue for me, and I mainly control it through taking Mag Citrate. It is exponentially worse from ovulation until the 2nd day of my cycle starting.

Any words of wisdom, or guidance on what else I can do to try again would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
