A member asked:
Choline deficiency- how is it diagnosed? alt^, ibs & unknown ruq pain. imaging mrcp clear, as are all usual causes inc dili aih wilsons etc
A doctor has provided 1 answer
By history for now: I found only two real scientific papers on humans with choline deficiency and in both case it's studies of folks with relatively little choline in the diet. If someone offers to test you for it by labwork, I'd be suspicious of their being an 'independent medical thinker'. There's some correlation with severity of NASH but I suspect this has to do with other lifestyle variables.
