Hello I have been diagnosed with Cirrhosis secondary to NASH with portal hypertension
But if a which as I went to the doctors for the first time with an ache in my tummy !! She thought it was my gallbladder or gall stones
4 months later and a lot of tests here Iam
Coukd this be reversed?
I have only seen people that have ALD reversing it through stopping drink I don’t drink and have started on a very healthy diet and Iam hoping for the best
I'm the same. KPA 36.6 result of scan last year. Told I have Fibrosis but compensated. US and bloods remained stable 6 months later even though I'd lost 2 stones by then. Brought my Diabetes to within normal range which I'm really happy with. Due my 12 month us scan for liver cancer surveillance next month and have now lost 3 and a half stones. So I'm the same. Can I bring it back to a better Kpa reading by this change in diet. I don't drink at all. I would like to know.
well done you !! I really hope you can I have been so good not that I was that bad anyway tbh Yes I had the odd take away but doesn’t everyone
I just worry that if it has got this bad What an earth can I change to hopefully at least keep it stable and maybe a slight improvement 🤷♀️
Same here. I need to gave better feedback from specialist and more advice. This forum is fantastic and I gave learned more here than anywhere. Bit of a tip. Don't Goigle anything as it is off putting. The Liver nurses are very good too. I hope someone here may be able to help us both. Good luck and keep well xx.
Quite a few people here have had success but it requires being kind to your liver. Here is a place start.

many thanks I have had a look at that it’s very interesting Iam atm only eating chicken fish veg fruits brown rice or pasta lentils outs skimmed milk and low fat cheese I do eat a few potatoes a week but Iam trying to limit them and I have wholemeal bread for toast with vitalite spread Are porridge oats ok ?
Oats are generally considered to be OK
does the rest sound ok or are there things in there that I should eat ? I am guessing potatoes are not a good choice? Sorry for so many questions
There are cookbooks (many of them) for people with liver disease. I know you don't want to google, but feel free to look up things like "fatty liver recipes" or "healthy liver cookbook" and you will be surprised how many delicious meals you can eat and live long and strong. Oftentimes a "healthy heart" diet is identical to a "healthy liver" diet so look for that to.
I don’t eat white or red potatoes but your liver likes sweet potatoes
Once it is cirrhosis it is very hard to reverse but can be done. I was once 283 pounds. now around 210 and I have been in stage 4 for years. Lose the weight, listen to your body, take care of yourself. Rest when needed as you will have times you can barely put one foot in front of the other, but I still work 50 hours a week at the age of 66 and very active although I now have the NASH muscles as well and they have asked me to buy a walker because sometimes it is hard to walk. They say if I fall I might bleed to death because NASH thins your blood as well. I have been on the journey with NASH with Cirrhosis that I know of for 22 years, so it can be done. Don't overdue it. But live your life with a positive attitude and you will be fine. Keep losing the weight as that is most important.
I was just diagnosed with NASH 2 days ago, and NAFLD for over a year. So it’s new to me too. My doctor said to stay away from sugars. I look to websites and have a sedentary lifestyle for work. I’m waiting on biopsy results, so not sure about Cirrhosis. You’re on the right track of you’re eating healthy and exercising. Good luck to you.
Thankyou and good luck to you too
can you please tell me what your symptoms were before finding out you have cirrhosis?
