I had nafld doc says I dont anymore , I lost 30 kg , went on the fatty liver diet , cutting out all the crap, ate fresh, cut way down on carbs and sugar .
@tisme Congratulations! I am happy to hear that you were successful in reversing the course of your liver disease. I think that you must have an amazing willpower and determination to have accomplished this.
What was the hardest part of maintaining your diet? How did your doctor react to the results?
once my liver doc told me " you have bad nafld go see a dietician" I never saw him again. i found dieticians useless but I did find a doc I had heard about years ago who specialised is liver issues so I followed her diet. lost 30kg my family doc was amazed at my weight loss knowing what to cook wasnt easy and with arthritis and jaw issues being able to chew it , I ate a lot of turkey mince , and made lots of what was called detox soup which is basically vegetable soup and did all I could to cut right down or out on sugar and carbs , the amounts of sugars etc in foods wow. I stayed away from canned stuff ate fresh
I have fatty liver disease and now high blood pressure, pretty sure I am going to be paced on blood pressure medicine but so far they all say don't take with liver disease. Any suggestions?
@ladyesheryl High blood pressure drugs can destroy the kidneys, etc., which is what happened to my mother. I will never take them. There is a lot of information about blood pressure, but not so much from doctors. Some say it should rise as we get older.
But most importantly, it can be lowered by using a very good quality bio-feedback machine. Fifty years ago I used one for another health issue, but was able to control my blood pressure with it. Thirty plus years later I was trying some out and immediately got to where I lowered my blood pressure. It's like reaching years of meditation/control without the years spent. (I don't have the patience.)
It's really worth doing if you could afford a fine-tuned one, but it also might be possible to go to a place that sells them but lets you try them out to see if you can control blood pressure.
Weird usually your ALT in blood work is elevated like mine if non alcoholic fatty liver . Strange it’s normal and CT scan showed it ?
Maybe get bloodwork redone and see if ALT has gone up ⬆️?
I had previously been comforted by my normal ALT and AST results - right up until I had a liver scan and saw with my own eyes the dreadful state of my almost-cirrhotic liver. I've been taking Milk Thistle for years...
