My name is Kayla - Age 23. I'm a long time lurker here and have decided to join since my health continues to go downhill. I have been eating a healthy Diet for about a year now - absolutely no gluten, no caffeine, no dairy, no added sugars. I don't drink nor smoke, though I used to. Despite my healthy habits, I feel there's now something wrong with my liver. Rather, I know there's something wrong. I have been very fatigued, losing a bit of weight and hair, inability to concentrate/brain fog, nauseous, weak, and lightheaded [especially after eating protein]. Stools are light in color, undigested food, smells of maybe asparagus, looks mushy and not at all well-formed. I get itchy sometimes after eating, especially if I have something that contains fructose or the like. I even have liver pain at times, like right now though I haven't ate much of anything today. I will get spontaneous yellowing of the skin. I don't know why. I have thought about fasting but can't due to Sugar problems [probably due to a damaged liver].

Weird thing, I bought LiverCare by Himilaya Herbs for liver detox/support and I actually got yellowing of skin more than once per day and felt maybe about 50% more ill. Is this a detox thing? Or just some kind of reverse reaction? I don't know of anyone who gets yellow *from* liver support. Here are the ingredients:

Proprietary Herbal Blend 375 mg *
Caper bush (root)
Chicory (seed)
Black nightshade (whole plant)
Arjuna (bark)
Yarrow (aerial parts)
[Cassia occidentalis Linn.] (seed)

- - - I also get looser/greener stools when I try to take a digestive enzyme containing betain HCl and ox bile [NOW Super Enzymes in particular]. Here are the ingredients:

Betaine HCl 200 mg *
Pancreatin 4X
Supplying:
Amylase 20,000 USP units*
Protease 20,000 USP units*
Lipase 3,400 USP units* 200 mg *
Papain (2M USP units/mg) 50 mg *
Cellulase (1M FCC units/g) 10 mg *
Ox Bile Extract (45% Cholic Acid) 100 mg *
Pepsin Enzymes (NF 1:10M units) 50 mg *
Bromelain (2400 GDU) (from Pineapple) 50 mg *
Papaya Powder 45 mg *

I have tried taking lethicin granules but it makes me feel more sick as well. I am allergic to eggs [maybe due to not being able to digest them because of a damaged liver?] so maybe that has to do something with it. I have a lot of food intolerances actually, even with taking Digest Gold [supposed to be the gold standard of digestive enzymes]. I can not wear perfume anymore because it gives me major headaches and nausea. In fact, I'm sure I now have multiple chemical sensitivity [due to my liver not being able to filter these out]. This including the fatigue and such makes it hard to go out into the real world. America is just not built for those with chemical sensitives.

Some other symptoms I can think of are blurry vision [especially in the mornings], anxiety, severe facial acne, bruising, muscle wasting if I try working out. Weakness, weakness, weakness.

My pleading question is, what do I do now, especially when I am already so fragile? I don't think I could handle any die-off of possible organisms because of my liver - that would just tax it even more and make me extremely toxic. I know because I've tried. I'm up to answering any questions. I'm out of a job [therefore insurance] so I really need as much help as I can get.

Thank you all for reading - I hope to hear from someone soon.
