How old were you when you were first diagnosed with liver disease?
Please select one:
I was 55 years
evidence at 22 yrs old, biopsy confirmed at 27 yrs old
I am the only one so young with no cause. Everything has been ruled out. You name it. This is why and how I know something else is underlying.. I need help getting to good doctors.
Hi Mariah you have been through almost everything, hard to imagine anyone could be so brave. I was wondering what your strategy is about diet. What do you eat if I might ask.
Thanks

Whole foods. My fiance is a butcher, but I limit red meat, get plenty of protein, however my diet is mostly vegetables. No added salt. Limited sugar. No bread. and nothing out of a box, bag, or can, etc. Its easy for me though. I like that food.Sweet potato and brussel sprouts are my favorite foods, so are blueberries, oatmeal, corn, chicken breast, turkey breast, hard boiled eggs, love avocado, tomato, bell peppers, mushrooms, everything. I love food!
OK, I'm on that path also. There is one big difference between us though. My hepatologist actually prescribed a heavy daily dose of extra virgin olive oil so that monosaturated fat was my primary energy source. If you are interested here is a link that is foundational to why I believe it is a good approach.

More user friendly science is reached from here on our website if you are interested in the other arguments that convince me.

Diagnosed at 33 but had chronically elevated enzymes in blood tests since I was 17
My 15 year old son was diagnosed earlier this year.
I was diagnosed by scan at 18 years old. I have blood tests back to 16 years old showing higher Alts than I should of had
