Can Intake Of Humira, Effexor, Dyazide And Immodium Cause High Liver Toxicity Levels?

Hello. I take Immodium every day for diahrea. I have Crohns and without Immodium I have immediate trips to the bathroom. My liver toxicity levels seem to be high and my doctor has had his office call twice now to tell me not to drink any alcohol until my next visit in Nov 9th. Mind you I rarely drink. In fact the last drink I had was a half a beer Labor Day Weekend. I also use Humira, Effexor, Dyazide, and supplements. What do you suppose is causing the increase in my liver toxin levels?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Since you have a history of Crohn's disease, diarrhea and liver disorder you are suggested to stay away from oily food, red meat, high protein packed food. Take homemade boiled food.

High liver toxicity is due to the alcohol you had been taking for so long has already affected your liver.

Humira side effect is also causing you liver problems. Inform your treating doctor. Some other medicine that suits you better can be given.

Stay hydrated, take liver tonics, take papaya, veggies, fruits, berries & small meals 3-4 times a day. Take food that is easily digestible.

The liver is the main organ of the body, get treated at the earliest. Neglect may result in Liver Cirrhosis or Cancer.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Nupur K, General & Family Physician
