Hey Jacky...I am so pleased for you. Keep doing what you're doing!!... Mark
I will, Thank you Mark ( Hey___ )
hi Jacky that is wonderful news .. will you please share with me what your initial symptoms were and what you did to reverse your fatty liver? I was just diagnosed yesterday with NAFLD.
My GP referred me to the gastric clinic as my blood test came back that my liver enzymes were raised. At the time I had no symptoms that I could pin on liver disease.I had a fibroscan and turns out I had fibrosis stage 3 - which is one off cirrhosis (and in the USA they actually call in pre-cirrhosis)
I read up on what to eat and just threw loads of veg on my plate, ate oats for breakfast drank no alcohol ( I was NAFLD but the liver doesn't like it anyway)
At this point though I wasn't losing any weight, and that was actually the one thing my Gastro doc told me to do.
So I scrapped that plan and started counting calories - my physio actually told me this was the best way to diet, nothing's off the plate, eat what you want, just stop at your limit. So, 2 stone later here I am. I have no idea if it was the veggies or the losing weight that did it. But I feel great and I'm going to lose some more.
And thank you, it is wonderful news.
ok thank you ... I havent had a Fibroscan yet so dont know which stage but I have been having on and off upper right abdomen pain and had a sonar yesterday which determined NAFLD I need to loose weight too as I am obese
I would think every country has their own way of doing things but I think you should have a fibroscan soon.
I had a ultrasound ten years ago and it was mentioned that they could see I had a fatty liver (I thought at the time that I thought that was rather obvious as I am obese and thought no more of it) they didn't say it was something to address as they then found I had a bursting gallbladder and after that it was all about getting my gallbladder out. Ten years on - this.
So I think the best thing you can do is lose weight - by any means possible, lol. It seems to be obesity that is the problem. I still am, so I need to hit that further, and I will, I feel so much better for that 2 stone I think I'll another 2.
Good luck on your liver journey MaMthombeni
Good news!! Did you have cirrhosis?
Thank you. No I had fibrosis stage 3 - one step away.
