Silybum marianum may reduce diarrhea
Retrospective analysis of the effects of a highly standardized mixture of Berberis aristata, Silybum marianum, and monacolins K and KA in diabetic patients with dyslipidemia.
Relevant for managing diabetic diarrhea.
We analyzed how the food supplement Berberol®K, which includes silybin and berberine, affects diarrhea in diabetic patients struggling with dyslipidemia. In our study of 59 patients dealing with irritable bowel syndrome or diarrhea caused by metformin, we found that those taking Berberol®K experienced a notable reduction in diarrhea symptoms.
After six months, only five participants on the supplement reported diarrhea compared to 22 in the untreated group. This suggests that Silybum marianum may help alleviate diarrhea, making it a promising option for patients who are statin intolerant or struggling with gastrointestinal discomfort.

Silymarin shows limited effect on diarrhea
Silymarin as a preventive or therapeutic measure for chemotherapy and radiotherapy-induced adverse reactions: a comprehensive review of preclinical and clinical data.
Relevance score indicates low significance.
We examined the potential of silymarin in reducing chemotherapy-related diarrhea among other adverse reactions. Our review included 64 studies, which indicated that silymarin is generally safe and well-tolerated. While it demonstrates benefits for several conditions related to cancer treatment, its specific effect on diarrhea was less prominent, with only one study addressing this issue. Overall, we found that silymarin holds promise as a supportive treatment option, but more research is necessary to identify the best usage guidelines.

Chronic diarrhoea relief
A big yes! I take one at bedtime, and it has significantly helped with my chronic diarrhoea, a problem I’ve had for over 30 years. I wish doctors had recommended this sooner as other treatments were ineffective and costly. Since starting, my symptoms have improved markedly, with my bowel issues getting around 80% better, and I hope for further benefits.
