Been diagnosed with Fatty Liver: What can I do about it?

So, I dont regularly go to the Doctor. By that I mean this is the first time in years I have physically seen a Doctor. I do not take time off work and I don't trust Doctors in general. My father died at the cost of a hospital mistake and my Mother has suffered for a very long time because major issues were not seen. I was not taking vitamins before I saw the Doctor. I am hoping when I get the CT scan I will see an improvement. I do not want to wait untill August to take action. My biggest frustration is that My weight gain is either causing it or...it caused my weight gain. Either way I feel like a mother walrus.

Hi Jessica, I agree with @rosemarya that you should check with your doctor before taking supplements, especially with a new diagnosis. Low levels of magnesium and potassium have been linked to fatty liver disease, but you'll want to verify that this is true in your case and if so how much to take and how often, etc.
I can understand the frustration with weight gain. Kudos to you for keeping up the swimming and physical activity. It will help.
Jessica, have you talked to your doctor about your mistrust and family experience with medical professionals? It would be helpful for them to know and understand.
