My dear step-mom has just been diagnosed with this and I was wondering if anyone has had personal experience with this disease and perhaps give any tips or advice on dealing with it...I've looked online but of course all the articles are so cut and dry, I was hoping to talk to someone who has dealt with it...TIA!
 
I would suggest that she talk to her doctor about taking Milk Thistle supplements.

Studies show they can be helpful in most types of liver disorders, including cirrhosis.

If it were me -- I'd just start taking it -- but it's always a good idea to consult one's doc.

Cirrhosis (liver scarring)
Multiple studies from Europe suggest benefits of oral milk thistle for cirrhosis. In studies up to five years long, milk thistle slightly improved liver function and decreased the number of deaths in people with liver disease. Although these results are promising, most studies have been poorly designed. Better research is necessary before a strong conclusion can be made.
