POLYCYCTIC KIDNEY DISEASE DIET

Liver Pain

PLD Pain while eating can become a constant trigger for someone with severe Polycystic Liver Disease. 40% of PLD'rs report pain as the chief symptom. Pain is what elicited the beginning of the PKD Diet, with a search to find foods that would not cause pain. Other PLD symptoms are bloating, distension, and early satiety all from an ever growing polycystic liver.

Saffron tea is excellent for lessening pain from PLD. Organic turmeric capsules one capsule three times a day also helps diminish PLD pain. After 3 days of taking these supplements, I was no longer holding my liver to brace it from pain. I stopped the turmeric and tried milk thistle, this achieved a similar curtailing of pain. However by taking a capsule that contained milk thistle, turmeric, and artichoke; this gave even better pain relief especially when all is combined with a moist heating pad and rest in a zero gravity chair. Lemon juice is like a magic potion for pain relief. With the first sip pain diminishes. Organic Meyer lemons when available are best. Citrus juices not only relieve pain, they also change the body toward alkalinity. See your doctor about getting relief from any pain you may experience.
