Does Gatorade Increase Liver Enzyme Levels?

My daughter gave birth in early Nov. She had trouble with milk production, so doctor prescribed reglan, which she has been taking since then. Last week in a blood test on Jan 3rd, her liver enzymes were high; they were even higher in a second blood test on Jan 6th. She has been drinking a lot of gatorade to stay hydrated after giving birth. Could this be part of her problem? Tests have ruled out Hep B & C. Doctor has taken her off reglan as of Jan 6th. She has also started having dry heaves in the morning and sometimes nauseous in the afternoons. She is not pregnant.

Hi ! I had gone through your question and i understand your concern
.
Yes using to often for a long time getorad may cause high liver enzymes . This suplement may cause hipervitaminosis A that cause these symptoms;nause , dry heaves ,headache , dizziness.

. I would suggest to measure vitamine A level to confirm the diagnosis . The treatement is just stop the supplement ( getorad ) . And after 2 month check again liver enzymes .

Wish your daughter good health !
