Hi Lynne, a lot of things go badly when the liver isn't running right. You have a hard list there. At the moment diet is about all be have if you are a NASH/cirrhosis patient. Can't guess about your diet, this is the one I use.

In addition to diet info posted above. Eat sprouted grain bread, eat oatmeal, use bean pasta, more whole grains and sprouted grain foods.Apvoid ANYTHING with added...like enriched...iron. iron collects in the liver. And it is added to many products esp avoid in vitamins. Reduce or eliminate sugar. Use stevia or stevia with monk fruit(taste better tho me than plain stevia) Sugar feeds cancer and inflammation! Plus makes you crave carbohydrate food like bread, cake,cookies, pasta, soft drinks causing unwanted calories and feeds the cycle.Drink plain clean water. Try to avoid eating meat and vit C rich foods together for example beef with tomatoe sauce. VIT C causes your body uptake iron. Be careful with quinoa, kale, spinach and other good food high in iron. All are good for you but make sure you keep iron intake down. Drinking tea or coffee help reduce your uptake of iron.

God be with you! Changes in diet plus some walking can help reduce symptoms of all you mentioned. Avoid tylenol and pain killers as much as possible because they hurt liver and don't deal with pain. For me fatty foods and those with iron caused the most pain. Be positive! Changes CAN benefit your health and increase your quality of life. Getting off sugar gave me back control of my food, eliminatined cravings and helped me make good choices. I list 18 lbs and got normal liver readings, no IBS or diverticulitis problems since doing it.

Hi Bbohnie

I appreciate your encouraging advice as diet is fundamental to making any progress with a lot of these diseases. I have been down the iron road myself as I was once diagnosed as having hemochromatosis and had 7 liters of blood drawn before we figured out that I didn't have that. My advice would be a bit different from yours since iron is a critical element for the proper functioning of cells and too little iron is a health hazard. It is critical for red blood cells as one example. Iron-enriched products are a hazard for anyone whose liver tends to store iron as it can cause damage but I wouldn't avoid foods like kale because it has iron. Some women suffer from anemia because of low iron caused by their menstrual blood losses and fatigue is one symptom of low iron. Like most things having too much or too little is a problem but for most people, I believe they will be OK with a healthy diet without focusing on the iron. It sounds like you are uncommonly sensitive to iron levels, but I wondered if you could point us to research that shows I'm wrong in that.
