I am about to start a clinical trial for something similar to this for NASH. But I just missed one that posted successful results. The Dr leading the research is doing 10 clinical trials and feels that things look very promising. Here is a link to a recent press release.

Fatty liver in adult is a dietary disorder and needs diet regulation and counselling. Medicines have only supporting role

Upping my Lactulose dosage, really helped me controlling my NASH. Run that by your GE or your Primary Care physician.

We all hope there will be an effective treatment program for NASH Cirrhosis. Right mow the best option we have is proper diet and regular exercise.

My illness began from a medication that severely harmed my liver. I went faithfully for liver testing every three months. Unfortunately, the wrong tests were ordered. I currently have an amazing and thorough Gastroenterologist but l'm not a candidate for a transplant!! This news is extremely important to me for more time with my precious family and friends!! Thanks for sharing and giving me hope for a better and longer future!!
