I was wondering.

Is there any real difference between fatty liver caused by alcohol,

And

fatty liver caused by diet.

Except what caused the fat to get in the liver?

(I ask because info about nafld treatment is much easier to come by than fatty liver liver and i was wondering if the same rules apply)

After you stop the alcohol the same rules apply. The damage is similar, best wishes

Hi, I’m not too sure of actually differences, but if alcohol related it seems there’s chances of some recovery, where as mine is none alcohol actual reason still unknown. So it’s a case of trying to control it with diet and generally keeping active. 😜

It can be from a bad diet and/or genetics. It is more common these days.

I did have a conversation about my consultant re causes!!. My diet has improved my general health I feel, genetically not too sure 🤔thoughts pop up like seeing my mom in some discomfort at times when she would rub and massage underneath her right breast area’s. When she passed away, diagnosis of carcinomatosis, primary bowel cancer. Also I worked for the NHS throughout my working life. I’m pretty sure I’ve been tested for most things now regarding bloods etc. The only concern was my white platelets count .

You seem to have more than your share of problems though, it must be so debilitating for you. Have you ever had a massage?, i usually have a shoulder and back one, I find them so relaxing 😌, 💤💤👌. Best wishes

My Dr. told me that when labs are drawn, and you are diagnosed with fatty liver, that they can't tell if it's from alchole or obesity. The treatment is the same.
