I'm just gonna throw out some ideas here. I've always had a fatty liver and my liver enzymes used to be elevated a lot and I never could tolerate a lot of fat in my food, especially fried food. I used to eat pretty healthy, but there was a period of my life when I was too tired to cook and I started eating out and I know I got some hydrogenated fats which I think blew out my gallbladder and that really screwed everything up. Anyway, would it help to keep a food diary to see if it's something you're eating that's making your liver enzymes go up? Or do you eat the same thing all the time? I'm positive it was the restaurant food that wrecked my gallbladder. Except for those couple of years, I only ate healthy fats, like avocados, coconut oil, and olive oil. Also, if I remember correctly there's are some herbs that will help your liver. You can Google it, but I think I used to take milk thistle - I'm sorry I can't remember the other thing. Also, I've been an almost lifelong vegetarian (I now have to eat some salmon because I became allergic to eggs, dairy, and soy and it's difficult for me to get enough protein), but I think animal fats are hard on your liver. These are just some ideas that came to mind. Good luck!
