I'm progressing very slowly so I didn't notice anything one way or another. I believe TUDCA is very safe and does protect the liver. That's why I switched to Milk Thistle. It has similar properties and, when you take most drugs, the liver needs support. Milk Thistle has also been known to cause stomach upset but I tolerate it well as long as I take it with food.
I have very bad acid reflux and gastritis. Stopping TUDCA was a quality of life measure. I was still walking a couple of miles a day when I stopped. I'm pretty sure I took it in 2016 but for a very short period of time.
Are you taking the milk thistle JUST for liver support? And if you were able to manage the acid reflux with pantaprazole or something similar would you elect to go back on the TUDCA for any neuroprotective value?
