I have a lot of anxiety about my fatty liver. I do still drink. They say I have NASH. I am afraid to have more testing. I have very loose yellow stools. Something is changing. I am overweight and very lethargic. Any thoughts beyond Diet and Exercise would be appreciated.

@sjh1240, Welcome to Mayo Connect. It does sound like you are seeing a doctor about the NASH, is that correct? NASH (nonalcoholic steatohepatitis) causes the liver to swell and become damaged due to the fat deposits in the liver.

I commend you for searching for more information from members and for more information about your liver condition. I have located a list of 4 preventive steps from Mayo Clinic's Health Library: Eat a healthy diet. Limit alcohol, simple sugars and portion sizes. Keep a healthy weight, Exercise. Here is the link to read more about each one - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/nonalcoholic-fatty-liver-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20354567

For information about the tests, symptoms, procedures, and treatment I reccommend: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease:

@sald1101, I did not have NASH, but another liver disease. And one of the first things that my doctor told me was, "No alcohol" because alcohol ms toxic to the liver, and any anount could risk severe damage. Although your diagnosis is named _non alcoholic -Please seriously consider avoiding all alcohol. You can ask for help. You are not alone.
Are you seeing your doctor regularly?
