Yes i have major gut issues and have been treating it for a couple of years. I had loads of parasites(which i got rid of)and im currently on yeast restriction diet ALA seriously messes up my gut and yes my liver is not in the best condition either. Seems like i got similar issues to you! ALA is a no no for me. HMD is the reason im sitting at the PC right now on here, theres obviously something in there that works for me. ALA turns me into a zombie.
