I was diagnosed with F3 fibrosis ( via fibro scan for elevated liver enzymes) after three years on Prednisone and a year of methotrexate for Polymyalgia Rheumatica. I was approved for Rezdiffra by Aetna but could not afford the $1000 monthly copay. I stopped eating processed and fast food, red meat, 90 percent of dairy and sugar and white rice/bread/ potatoes. Zero alcohol. In four months I reduced my numbers to high fatty liver without fibrosis and lost 30 pounds. I am 73 and diabetic.

That's awesome! Congrats on your success! I am curious. Do you use zero-sugar soft drinks with aspartame-free sweeteners like sucralose or stevia? I assume you are talking about added sugar to food and drinks. I have F3, borderline F4 fibrosis. I eat only steamed vegetables (often steamed from frozen), fish, some chicken, occasional turkey, and maintain a low-salt regimen. I also indulge in occasional low-sugar jam and apple butter. I am wondering if I should get considerably stricter. My fibrosis status remains stable but not reduced.
