hi, m

I’ve had two high alt levels and my ast levels were normal.

I have been diagnosed with severe fatty liver.

I’m still so worried it could be Cirrhosis or would of this been picked up.

Also does anybody have any advice on foods?

like how much wholemeal bread I can have a week?

I’ve been living off salads and my dr said that’s not maintainable but didn’t give me any clear advice.

ALT is an inflammation marker - yours isn'tall that high - doctors only get worried when such bloods reach 3 to 4 times upper limit of normal and yours is only about double. If you've been told you have fatty liver then that's what it is and its time to take it very seriously before long term damage is done.

The BLT has some wonderful resources on Non Alcohol Related Fatty Liver Disease and appropriate diet on the following pages and you can even download an excellent booklet. If alcohol is in any way involved then the same dietary advice stands but with the added need to get rid of the booze too.

Thank you so much for replying.

No alcohol apart for occasional glass of wine every few months. In the past two years I can count on my hand how many drinks I’ve had. ( I was pregnant so didn’t drink and have had one or two since he’s been born)

I have ulcerative colitis so could be due to my medication or my rapid weight gain and eating like a pig in pregnancy. Xxx

Not what you're looking for?
