The only thing I can tell you is take this very serious and as a warning, I almost completely stop drinking, I probably drank 7 occasions since Dec 2012 but no more than 3 standard drinks.

At the time of diagnosis, my ALT 79, AST 62 and my TG was 475 along with high Uric Acid level. At first, I thought fatty liver meant I was overweight and that my liver had some fat around it... well... as you probably did it your self(self diagnosis and research) that fatty liver is a chronic disease. I always thought I was too young to have health problems until this moment. With this urgency, I started to monitor ...

I have very high enzyme numbers and right now, he (liver specialist) put me on 800 (I'm taking 1,000 as it is cheaper than two 400s) of vitamin e. He says it helps the liver. Well, it also can be harmful for the heart which runs in my family. I agree with LadyIJ, you need t...

To the best of your knowledge,is it common for people with liver disease to have problems with their cholesterol levels, and if so, in which direction? I ask because, from what I understand, the liver is the organ that produces and distributes cholesterol throughout and out of the body. As I mentioned before, I had a fasting cholesterol test done at a lab back in early Februar...

Quick question. Which is easier on your liver for pain relief, ibuprofen, or tylenol? I've had a bad sore throat for about a week and my pharmacist said ibrupofen is preferable for someone with a compromised liver, because it's metabolized through the kidneys, whereas acetaminophen is processed via the liver?

Based on my understanding and words from my hepatologist, these are normal symptoms of fatty liver/Steatohepatitis. Inflammation of liver can cause such a symptoms. Since i've been in healthy diet, my discomfort has lessen, i suspect nausea is from lack of intake of calories as i've been on 1500 calorie diet on week days and 2000 on weekend with zero alcohol. keep us posted on your result of the blood te...

All these diets or foot changes do is make it easier perhaps for your liver to function if it is still in the earlier stages. I just watched my proteins and ate lots of fruits and vegetables for a long time, and my MELD stayed quite low. Then the fruit started to cause issues, so I had to stop that for a while. Out of nowhere I got sick and went to the hospital. MELD has jumped and lots of problems. I have not been able to work for 4 months, and am...
