See GI specialist.: These are the folks who get paid the big bucks to make sure the next move is the right one.  You will need a variety of liver tests, perhaps more imaging and maybe even a biopsy to figure this one out.

Question 2

best way to detoxify liver with fatty liver disease and do i need to?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily...: As we age fat deposits build up in our liver; best way to combat this is by being as 'low-fat' as possible; and your body will do the rest.  (presuming all of your lab data is normal of course)  some say the herb 'milk thistle' can help with detoxification of the liver; but there have been no studies I am aware of to prove this...Strictly an alternative solution.  Cheers!

The cause of: the fatty liver needs to be determined.  There are many potential etiologies, not just a large body habitus.  Certain medications can cause it.  Talk to your doctor about what is causing the fatty liver, then it can be addressed.

Question 5

i've been diagnosed with fatty liver disease and i was wondering what drinks i can have, i know water is the best but what else can i have?

Accepted Answer

Non-alcoholic: It's your choice. I'm going to assume this is common non-alcoholic fatty liver and not a mimic such as hepatitis c or a medication allergy. Fruit juices aren't always as wholesome as one would think, especially the sugared ones. Your physician would probably like to see you stay physically fit and trim -- this is the key to management -- so grab your water bottle and hit the track. Save your life.

Question 6

Stay away from sweets too.
