Alrighty. I’m 33 and weigh 230 lbs. I’ve fluctuate between 200-233 since 2009. I used to party and drink but have not really drank at all for 1.5 years. When I did drink sometimes it was once a week a lot in one evening, and sometimes it was once every couple of months. I had a year that I did drink a lot in about 2010-2011. A lot of social drinking. Alright, I got an ultrasound of my abdomen in 2018 and was diagnosed with fatty liver. My liver enzymes were mildly elevated. I lost weight and worked out a lot. I remained around 200 lbs until I got pregnant with my son. I gained weight and had a liver function panel done. My alt and ast were mildly elevated. I think in the 50’s and then later 100’s. I was pretty heavy. I ate clean for a month and did the liver rescue and went in for testing and my function test was amazing. My liver panel was perfect. No elevations at all. Then I started eating bad and gained 15 lbs and took another test (for life insurance) and they were bad again!

Now I have tests ordered and I am back on the liver rescue. I have lost 15 lbs and I’m back to the weight I was when I had a normal test. Additionally, I’ve had a hida scan that showed my liver and gall bladder functioning normal and a cat scan that showed my liver at normal size.

I am having some pain. Maybe my gall bladder? It’s mainly near the end of the day... I drink coffee and eat a LOT of veggies and all fiber diet. I am getting gas and having regular and even multiple bowl movements because I am all plant based. I don’t know why I all of a sudden have pains more often then before when I was heavy?

Any one else?!?! Ugh I’m constantly worried and I feel like it would be irresponsible to get pregnant again until I lose all of the weight. My goal is 150 lbs

Im experiencing similar.

Ruq pains can be caused by a big long list of things though more likely to cause pain than liver.

I thought it was fatty liver causing y ruq pain untill i cleared the fat out my liver. So my GI now suspects its an ulcer.

Hi Trying

One thing to come to grips with is that there are no quick fixes. If you want to maintain liver health you need to practice a liver friendly lifestyle. Increased liver enzymes mean that more liver cells are dying than normal but having them go down doesn't mean that all problems are solved. There is no such thing as a short term liver rescue. YoYo dieting is hard on your body so each cycle probably adds to the scarring and eventually the organ will complain. If you could get a FibroScan it would tell you a lot more than blood tests and try to talk to a liver specialist.
