I was recently diagnosed with Autoimmune Hepatitis and I would like to know if I should be on any kind of vitamin supplementation? The Doctor put me on 40mg of PrednisonePrednisone Prednisone anhydrous everyday, but didnt say anything about vitamins.
Do some research on the long term effect of prednisone, and you might want to reconsider (prednisone can cause damage to liver as well...). Since your liver is targeted, look into taking milk thistle (silymarin..protects liver from toxins) as a supplement. Orthodox MDs seldom give much attention to letting the body heal itself, they need to prescribe toxic drugs. I would highly suggest working with a good nutrionist and holistic practitioner, they for the most have a lot more to offer, especially with autoimmune disorders. Vit B is vital for liver issues.. stay off alchol and coffee..drink green tea...etc.etc theres a lot you can do I urge you to do research online, lots of info.
