Thin with NAFLD - treatment successes?

PostWhipple-NAFLD profile image

I was diagnosed with NAFLD through blood tests and biopsy in 2021. A result of low enzyme production from not having a pancreas, bile duct or gallbladder (whipple surgery for pancreatic tumor). I’m 56 yrs old, 5’7” and 120 lbs. I have always exercised and eaten healthy. All the info I can find about treatment involves losing weight but I’m not overweight. Looking for others in a similar situation and getting ideas on how to slow down the liver damage. I’ve already progressed from mild fatty liver to severe and would love to get ideas on anything I can do (foods to avoid? Foods to eat?) to stop the progression of NAFLD.

I have lean nash and was f3 in March 2023 and in August 2023 I have decreased to f2. My biopsy shows no fat in my liver.

Consider quercitin. Capers, onions, apples… just note that it becomes CO2 as it is metabolized so you may feel short of breath as you use it. SO USE SMALL amounts. A teaspoon of capers twice a day may help. Also rinse them first to remove as much salt as possible. Add them to meals or add raw onions to meals.

I’ll try that. I love capers! Thank you.
