Accepted Answer

It's already better: Fatty liver is a result of obesity/high calorie, high fat diet.

Question 2

i have fatty liver from obesity.  i have been dieting and exercising. i don't want to damage my liver more but would it hurt to eat non diet food once in a while?

Accepted Answer

Risk for sabotage : Anything in moderation should be ok; however, eating poor food puts you at risk for increased cravings and more susceptible to back sliding on a program that seems like it is working for you.    Treat yourself with fruits rather than fats.  If you plan to eat "non diet" foods, refrain from those high fats and compensate during other meals.  Remember, it's not a treat if it harms your body.

Question 3

m 28.all fast food diet, alt turned up 135, mildly fatty liver in ultrasound, had silymarin for 2 wks, alt=113, after 2 more wks, alt 175! no hep b, c?

Accepted Answer

Elevated LFT's: If you continued your fast food diet but expected milk thistle to correct the effects on your liver, you now have evidence that this didn't work.  There could also be problems with the preparation you used, as some have been associated with elevations in alt. http://tinyurl.com/krz5efy  drinking alcohol heavily or large quantities of liver-affecting medications like tylenol (acetaminophen) could cause this too.

Usually yes; ask Dr.: A person with mild fatty liver likely has gotten extra fat in most other places in the body, and probably is eating more sugar and plain carbs than he should be.

He should also work with his primary care doctor to see if he needs medication or further testing, as there can be other problems, such as high cholesterol.

Accepted Answer

How much cheating?: "cheating" on a diet doesn't mean that you've gone back to all of your bad habits and are eating the same volume or the same calories as before. You should try counting calories. You may have eliminated some of the hormone pattern causing fatty liver. If you remain concerned about the weight, see a doctor for a physical and routine cancer screenings.
