My mother died from Fatty Liver Disease in 2014. She never drank alcohol, was normal weight, and relatively healthy. She was diagnosed with fatty liver 20 years prior, but they never told her what that meant or what to do about it. It was dismissed as “oh well, a lot of people have it. No big deal”. About 15 years later she started getting sick, but they couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her. GERD, fatigue, bloating, mental fog, rosacea. By the time they figured out it was her liver she was terminal. Then they put her on the totally wrong diet. Fruit, carbs, low protein…margarine rather than butter, ugg! totally backwards! Now I have it. Im 59 years old and have it too. Im doing my own research on diet and liver health. I don’t think doctors get trained properly on nutrition. Sadly many people are killings themselves with carbs and seed oils and they don’t know it.

Thank you for shedding light on these vital signs of fatty liver disease. Remember, drinking at least 8 glasses of water daily and reducing intake of omega-6 oils can significantly lower your risk. Taking these proactive steps now can protect your liver and enhance your overall health.

How the heck is a person supposed to take apple cider vinegar lemon juice and water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach as well as taking digestive enzymes before each meal an hour before on an empty stomach plus taking that betaine hydrochloride this is too much for the average person to be able to It's just not realistic to expect

I’m going thru the same thing. I just recently found out that I have fatty liver disease and it was by a casually mentioning that it was in my health records. This is the VA and nobody told me and it was diagnosed over 8 years ago. They said I had diverticulitis. I’m 68 and have had stomach problems but nobody can tell me anything. Needless to say looking for a better doctor that’s out of the VA system.

I was diagnosed with this 5 months ago after a CT scan and blood tests, symptoms first occurred while I was on a health and exercise spree for about a year and a half. I was pretty consistent with keto during this time, and my BMI was the lowest it had been in 10 years or so. My exercise regime was a three day rotation (Push, Pull, Legs) where I would take a day break in-between each where I would go on an hour long walk. It's wouldn't be to much of an exaggeration to say I was in the best shape I had been in my whole life so the diagnoses of "Fatty liver disease" absolutely baffled me.
For the full context I will go into a little bit of a lengthy explanation here on what my initial symptoms where, how was I diagnosed, what the most likely cause was, what I am doing to combat it, and maybe if you care to keep reading how it's going so far.
Nearly two years into a New years resolution that had stuck where I was dead set on losing weight and getting into shape I had successfully dropped 50 pounds "ish" of fat and was diligently following an exercise regime. One day I was doing my usual push routine where in my middle of my bench I got a sharp pain underneath my right ribcage, if I had to describe it I would say it was similar to a charley horse in intensity but a fraction of the duration. The sharpest pain didn't last all that long however I was left with a lingering "knot" in the area would be the best way to describe it, with bouts of pain occurring again depending on how I moved, aggravating it with pressure or by flexing my core. This is what lead me to believe that either one of two things happened, (feel free to call me stupid in hindsight as I probably should have immediately consulted a doctor) however what I thought was either I "pulled" something during the lift OR I had just gotten a hernia. Now what I had done was operate under the tried and true "walk it off" mantra and wait and see if it was a one off occurrence or if it would linger. If only I was so lucky, however from there got things only got worse "go figure", here is a rapid fire list of symptoms I had over a rather short period of time. First of all the "knot" like sensation below my right ribcage hardly ever fades (even now) but that's just where it starts, I don't know how many times I have woken is such a sharp stabbing pain below my right shoulder blade (It's like you have thrown your back out or pinched a nerve.... that bad) on a couple occasions it was so bad I could hardly get out of bed and just called in to work. That symptom at first was also mistaken as the result of physical activity and I didn't directly link it to the "knot" in my abdomen, I was also experiencing a lot of nosebleeds around this time also, with them occurring primarily in the shower and were very persistent which was cool. What finally triggered me to stop "walking it off" and talk to a doctor is when I had passed a stool that was strangely pale almost white (weird right?) and I remember looking in the mirror and noticing the whites of my eyes where not white but a gross (yellowish) color that actually freaked me out a bit.
So I finally go to the doctor, I ramble off all these things that have happened and he goes "oh those are the symptoms for jaundice" yay... but he seem awfully unconcerned so I wasn't too worried at first. I will be more brief from here as this is already getting wordy (sorry). So he ordered a blood test and that came back all green except for two liver enzymes that were not in the "normal" ranges. I can't remember the name of the two enzymes but they are linked with liver damage if they are high so we opted for a CT scan (without contrast) to see if there is anything obvious going on. Sure enough the results came back with an "Enlarged Liver" now how they can tell how big it's supposed to be I don't know but the doctor said it's most likely Non alcoholic fatty liver disease, (Did I mention I don't drink?) and this is where things go off the tracks a bit. The reason things got weird with this doctor is because he had recommended to me the diet I had nearly religiously followed for 2 years! I ate an outrageous amount of broccoli on keto and avoided all the unhealthy oils that have omega-6s, I was already doing exactly what is recommended for combatting this disease! It was at this point that I went around doing a bit of my own research, because now I knew what the problem was and that the culprit was probably something wrong with my diet and it actually didn't take that long to figure out what the problem was.
So I am sure I will get some flack for such an obvious mistake I had made on my "Health Journey" but in the health nut circles I had heard that Erythritol was a acceptable alternative sweetener. I won't mince words here, I drank a lot of energy drinks, specifically the monster rehabs that were advertised as 10 calories, "Tea" and seemingly sweetened with Erythritol instead of sugar. With full disclosure I drank at least one a day, they were delicious and I thought they would minimally impact my diet, I saw results and they helped me crush a workout and have energy at work. You might think that "duh" energy drinks are just a chemical concoction stimulant that obviously won't have long term health benefits, well the plot thickens. It turns out and it didn't take me too long to find this online that on Sucrose "commonly found artificial sweetener especially in energy drinks" the weight of studies strongly suggest that sucrose and HFCS are major risk factors for NAFLD"Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease". Fructose causes fatty liver through the general activation of lipogenesis and blocking of fatty acid oxidation. That is copied straight out of the medical journal of Hepatology, so now I have a smoking gun "yay..." it got a little richer from there since the link is exacerbated when you are on a high fat diet "Kind of like keto... oof".
That all being said I cut out all energy drinks cold turkey "duh" and have tried to hammer even harder the cruciferous vegetables among other healthy eating habits and kept up with my walking but unfortunately still haven't been able to get back on my weightlifting routine "not sure if I even want to" it's been about three months and it's been anything but a "quick fix" apparently years of liver damage aren't healed that quickly. The bouts of pain are still common but I am hopeful that I am heading in the right direction.
A real quick aside, before going to the doctor I had dug around on the internet for answers and couldn't find any, maybe this blurb will help someone else, at the very least anyone who reads this can affirm what should already be obvious... ENERGY DRINKS ARE BAD FOR YOU! lol

Hope this finds you well.

This is my promise to myself here publicly, to reverse my “mild fatty liver” by the end of 2024.

[vladimircurkoski]

I lost my father because he didn't care about what he eat or drink and it was not easy dying, not at all. It hurts me deeply that he died suffering and me, mom and sister couldn't help him no matter how much we tried because it was already too late.
Don't neglected your liver because you can't live without it

Fatty liver has nothing to do with colesterol or fatty meat. It is caused by insulin resistance with excess sugars/carbs. It is these sugars that are converted to visceral fat that causes fatty liver, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, joint pain, bowel conditions, psychological conditions etc etc. Visceral fat is not animal fat or colesterol. Visceral fat is what is stored around your organs regardless of whether you are over weight or thin.
Insulin resistance in men, leads to a reduction in testosterone and an increase in oestrogen. In women, the opposite happens ie, a reduction in oestrogen and an increase in testosterone. Cancer, depression, anxiety etc etc is also part of this. Eating vegetables leads to a build up of toxins. The best way to cure this is to reduce all sugars regardless of source ie fruit, carbs, bread, grains, rice, pasta and refine sugars like sweets/candy, fizzy drinks and alcohol etc. Eat red meat with real butter, eggs, salt and drink water. This will heal your entire body. The vegetable and seed oils are highly toxic so only cook in real butter, olive oil or coconut oil. You will be amazed at how you will feel. Contrary to all food industry based science research, eating animal fat is essential. The only thing I disagree with this presentation, is that vegetables are poison to the body. Animal fat will remove visceral fat. He is right about intermittent fasting.

ALWAYS request an Ultrasound scan of your organs to check everything over. I have been successfully treating my fatty liver for 12 months. My blood tests showed it was normal, but the day after the blood test the scan showed I still have some fatty liver. Don't just rely on bloods. It will only show up on bloods when it's pretty bad (can still be reversal if it's not too bad, but still not great either).

So, food wise, I need to tripple my spending on “healthy” foods. I can barely afford the crap I eat as it is. After bills, taxes, rent and car repair, at the end of the year, I have $100 for food. I do not have a cellular phone, car, or any modern “needs” based on a U.S. lifestyle. I am at a library because I have no computer or internet. Can’t get to the doctor because no car… health shouldn’t be a right and privilege of the rich!

It’s absolutely CRIMINAL what has been done to food. It’s not food when it causes harm.
