Hi all,
From time to time we receive requests from TV companies looking to make a programme about people with various liver conditions. We have received a request from a TV company looking for people specifically with alcohol related liver disease, who live in Wiltshire and are between the ages of 40-59 years. If you would be willing to speak to them about your own liver disease please contact Yvonne Wilcox at the British Liver Trust to find out more and we will support you in speaking with the TV company. Email Yvonne.wilcox@britishlivertrust.org.uk
Many thanks,

Great....another TV show that perpuates the myth that everyone with liver disease is an alcoholic or drug addict....
If you read the request correctly Mama12...it was specifically asking for those people with alcohol related liver disease...it is not suggesting at all that everyone with liver disease is an alcoholic!
Thank you but I did read the request correctly...What I'm saying is that when Television shows deal with liver disease they always show the cause as being due to alcohol or drugs.
Would be nice to see them acknowledge that not all liver problems are self inflicted....
I agree with you, mines was caused by my Diabeties, it's not alcoholic related, they should do a programme about the other causes, it might even make more people aware of it, xx
