Fatty liver/IBS diet

I am so frustrated. I am trying to find the right diet to lose weight manage my fatty liver and IBS. I was on an extreme low carb diet and had my liver enzymes normal after my diagnosis. Then about 10 months later I developed IBS. I am having a terrible time trying to manage both. Any suggestions on how to find a healthy diet? Dietician? Does anyone know about the Fibroscan. I was diagnosed through blood test, sonogram and cat scan.

Hi Herman! Congratulations on your weight loss and feeling better. Can you recommend the low carb diet that you were on? I am struggling with keeping to a diet regimen for NAFL!

Thanks,

Nancy

YES I have been on a LC diet since 3-19-2019, I started with 92 carbs a day and now I am only allowed 50 carbs a day. The KETO diet, I was told I could not be on since I was a diabetic, but I do not eat any bread, potatoes, pasta, rice. I only eat broccoli, cauliflower,cabbage, I can have strawberries,or red or black berries, I can eat eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, and meat, Thats about it and I ride my bike 3 to 4 times a day when able to with my schedule & wife's illness.....I only drink water or black coffee only!!!

Not much, but I have tried a lot of other plans and this one works....

I agree it is very hard, I use a carb fighter as my sweet treat, or I can eat 1/2 of a Hersheys Dark bar, 12g of Carb, but I have to do this to make sure I don't end up on the liver transplant list... It's a no brainer, I have lost all 225 units of insulin and for me that is more important than the weight, but yet it is still as important because I REALLY LIKE being smaller like I was when I graduated from high school....

Try a Mediterranean diet it is plant based and uses only lean meats. Do not eat ANY fast food this includes Subway etc... Avoid rare meats like steaks as they sit for a longer period before being digested. Also explore different cheeses such as goat cheese and Blue cheese. Exercise is a great idea, but if you have not worked out in a while I suggest walking a Large mall of hiking trails and movement is highly beneficial.
