Ultrasound Result after Elevated ALP
I got my US result this morning and it states that Liver is slightly echogenic possibly due to fatty infiltration. My family doctor thinks it is a fatty liver but I should get a second opinion from specialist. I have scheduled an appointment with gastro on August 24th which is the earliest they have.

Pruritus
10 days of having a itchy back. Is it possible that this is a symptom of alcohol liver disease? I do not have any other symptoms at all. Can pruritus be the first presenting symptom of liver disease?

I decided to quit
I have decided today to quit drinking . I am terrified even after normal labs and a normal ultrasound I think I did damage. If a liver shows normal size and no focal lesions I’m assuming that’s good but I think they may have missed something. How can I not have fatty liver??!! I read a story today about

PA and proctitis
My mom was diagnosed with PA awhile back and has struggled with proctitis for some time. Is there any connection? Anyone else experience this? Did B12 injections help?

Fluttering feeling on my upper right side
I am a male, 36 years old, fit (on the skinny side). I started drinking when I was about 18. I would go out with friends and we would get pretty drunk on the week ends. I couldn’t tell how much we drank really, it varied a lot, sometimes it was just a few beers and sometimes it was a lot more. The frequency
