@gema98, Welcome to Connect. I am happy that Colleen tagged me to this discussion about meals. When I was first diagnosed with liver disease, my doctor's advice was to maintain a healthy life style with healthy diet and physical activity. He encouraged me to do this by making some lifestyle changes
There was not a specific 'diet' or recipe file. My life changes included less red meat and changes in food preparation. I made small changes and followed his suggestion of - moderation.
Heart Healthy is the term for my dietary choices.
Gema, What has your doctor told you? Has he told you to avoid alcohol, over-the-counter meds and supplements?

I haven’t been told anything which is why I’m reaching out and reading online articles! I’m very upset! Three years ago was told fatty liver I assumed because I was 60lb overweight but my whole family brothers and sister 20 years older and much heavier none of them have this. Then I was told autoimmune disease attacked my liver, no one ever mentioned diet or wt loss. My husband had cancer and while taking care of him I lost 45lbs. I just started my own diet no red meat, greasy food, salt, sugars all cut back. So I lost another 10 lb from this in past month. My GI put me on Ursodiol 5 months ago but she just quit working and referred me to hepatologist Dr who I see on 10/14. I have never smoked, drank, drugs, no out of marriage affairs. I take meds for BP, thyroid, baby aspirin, stool softener, VitD, and calcium when I remember it, IB for backache occasionaly.
