NAFLD (nonalcoholic fatty liver disease): Want to connect with others

I have NAFLD. My mother died of cirrhosis of the liver (NAFLD). I lost a nephew to a liver disease, but he had a liver transplant and died a year later. Now his sister, my niece, has cirrhosis. Obviously, genetic. I am overweight, have high cholesterol and just found out my glucose is 176. I am under Dr. care; she has recommended more blood work. My liver enzymes are up too. I research a lot. I read there are certain supplements you should not take if you have NAFLD, but it didn't specify which ones. Does anyone know what they might be? I am taking Milk Thistle. I'm also curious about green tea. Is it good for NAFLD. I read one place it is and another that it isn't.

I supposedly have NASH. Or NAFLD. My doctor doesn’t seem too concerned, I think, because my lab results had been just over the ‘normal range’. I am female, nearly 78, overweight by < 10 lbs ( it fluctuates). Prediabetic but again numbers are just over the recommended range. My last physical was in November & the lab values were stable (ie didn’t go up) so I’m not sure if I should be worried. Unfortunately my primary MD now works 3 days a week so I was seen by a PA. The previous year my MD said lose some weight ( I did but it fluctuates (depends on what I eat). No bread etc my weight goes down fast. I started taking milk thistle and drink more green tea, 1 cup of low caffeine coffee ( only in cold weather); I am going to start drinking buckwheat tea ( yes I never heard of it either so I hope I like it). I only take levothyroxcin & Amlodopine low doses . B12, Lutein with no zinc. No other vitamins, my doctor says get your vitamins from real food. My next physical isn’t until December so I have a few months to lose 10 lbs & see if the tea etc have any effect. I do think the milk thistle brought my enzyme numbers down. Good luck
