Hi, I've just been told i have nafld and stone in gallbladder, after having stomach problems for a few months. Feeling full, bloated, constipated, pain both sides under ribs and left back area (back part of under the ribs) gp sent me for a ultrasound scan and this was the result. I also have pernicious anaemia, fibromyalgia, and other problems. Ent diagnosed me with gerd a few years ago. My bloods have over the last 8 yrs come back with high gamma, raised triglycerides, and cholesterol, but no further action given.

Currently taking b12 injections every 8 weeks, also top up with b12 spray, vit d, folic acid. I am overweight, more So after giving up smoking 12months ago, 54 female.

Ive been given an appointment with a life coach in 2 weeks, was a bit awkward on the diagnosis as was a telephone consultation, and gp has an accent, I struggle with hearing, i know theyre going to say about weight loss and diet change etc , im just wondering what advice people have and if any other tests should be doneThanks

You might find the BLT guidance about NAFLD useful just now and the patient charter page which will help with useful questions when dealing with medics.
