I was told over the phone after I was asked how much I drink. When I said I haven't drank in over 10 years they wanted to know how much tried to figure out why they were asking. Then was told I had fatty tissue around liver. They were sending info to speacialiist Waited 3 days then got a call for appointment in October. I guess if it's serious they don't care.

I too was told to stop drinking.... but I don't drink. ever! Then they told me to follow a low fat diet. So far, so good!

I have it too and experienced a lot of pain and intestinal issues. Have been living with this for over a year now. I completely changed my diet, eliminating carbs and sugar and fried food....I eat a salad of some kind every day.. .did no carbs the first six months and now only use a small amount of whole grain bread. No potatoes nor pasta,. Lots of vegetables and chicken and salmon. Limited fruit. When I deviate and eat that cheeseburger and I fries I feel sick but pain and soreness is pretty much gone and I feel much better. Hope this helps
