Thiamin
Hi, my gp has prescribed Thiamine, she hasn't said how long I need to take it for ? I have a little bit of fatty liver, but that's all I know, what sort of question should I be asking and how worried should I be?

preservatives in B12
I have been reacting to subcutaneous SI and looking at what is in Panpharma B12 there is acetic acid sodium chloride sodium acetate. This is hydro. I have bought a lot of these and worry first if I can’t use them and secondly if all have this in them. Any advice please?

Apologies for the offtopic but I thought this was an interesting anti-oxidant supplement although only preliminary research has been carried out on it as yet. It seems to have potential as a very powerful antioxidant but too much anti-oxidants can also be a bad thing (based on vitamin E and beta-carotene

New test reliable?
Hello everyone. I hope your Saturday is going well. I spoke with my GP this morning to receive blood test results. She said my liver tests are good, my ALT only 50. She explained they did a fairly new test too, called fibrosis 4, known as fib 4 and that assessed scarring of the liver. It was really low

Gamma GT
I was previously a heavy binge drinker, i had liver function tests which were ok but slightly raised GGT. I stopped drinking completely a couple of months ago and had the blood test again, it has risen rather than going down. i am otherwise very fit, healthy BMI and a good diet. Does anyone know why

Periodontitis (Gum Disease) and the Liver
Last week I enjoyed a very interesting Zoom meeting with a presentation being given by a professor of Periodontology and head of the School of Dentistry at the University of Birmingham, UK.

I have been to see my GP today to talk about the results letter I received which I told you all about. He said it's f4 fibrosis, not cirrhosis, and it is reversible. I'm going to see a fibro nurse next Tuesday,which has been arranged through my drug worker. I'm going to ask all the same questions. I

Partner out of hospital
Thank you to all the replies I've had on previous posts about my partner. He is now out of hospital but on an awful lot of medication including steroids and tablets that suppress alcohol cravings. He has been diagnosed with Alcoholic Hepatitis for the second time in 2 years. I asked the consultant

I have lived with
cardiomyopathy

all my life, I was born with it, and it was never really a problem until I had my daughter last year. Unfortunately my Cardiomyopathy is genetic but that doesn't stop me in trying to better myself and I am really blessed to have a baby I call my own.

fatty liver /fibrosis
how many people have reversed the fatty liver and fibrosis as well? If you reverse the fatty liver will the fibrosis reduce as well?

Liver Disease Reversal
Seen in the Daily Mail today British designed dialysis machine can be used on liver patients and appears to reverse the disease doing away with the need for a transplant. It should be available in three years. There isn’t too much information such as what stage of the disease has it been successful

Advice Appreciated
Hi all, it 3 weeks since I came off Spironolactone as my liver specialist asked me to do so as after 6 month checks they believed my results showed I was in a good enough place to do so. I’ve gained 8 pounds in 3 weeks which from what I can see online isn’t classed as rapid but the last few days I’ve

fatty liver
does anyone know the average size of a liver for a woman who’s 50. I’ve been told that mine is 12.5 which indicates fatty liver. 12 months ago my liver was normal. I stopped drinking and now it’s fatty. I’m so confused and having no support. Some advise say no dairy then others say it’s ok

Its seems ELF test is more accurate, because on this forum I have found several people who feel smth is wrong with their liver that have normal elastography
