Hi all I just need to get this off my chest. My dad died 3 days ago, 14 weeks after being diagnosed with alcohol related liver cirrhosis. I am totally crushed. I feel guilty for thinking he had ‘let himself go’ when in fact he was full of fluid as he had ascites. I’m left not being able to tolerate

Alcoholic liver disease is a strong predictor of colorectal polyps in liver transplant recipients
In January this year, following a routine blood test by my GP. It highlighted low ferritin levels. After having completed a Fit-Test (faecal haemoglobin test), blood was found in the sample. I later went and had a CT Colonography. This highlighted four polyps in my colon. After a lot of messing around

Fibroscan results
After my first ultrasound scan in April 2020 showing severe
fatty
liver
it has been a long wait to find out if my liver has improved. I followed the liver friendly/Mediterranean diet, cut out all alcohol, drank several coffees a day and exercised a bit more.

So after my fatty liver issue my dad decided to get his tested
The strangest thing is he doesn’t have
fatty
liver
, no NASH, all his levels are ok except he has 0.49 Fibrosis. This test was done with blood work only. What does this mean, is it just an old Fibrosis? I’m not sure what to recommend him for a diet since he’s already about 30 pounds lighter than me.

Omega 3 supplements- increased risk of cardiovascular disease?
I recently read on a Grassroots Health newsletter that recent research has shown that B vitamins don’t work well without omega 3. (I can’t be more specific than ‘don’t work well ‘and I’m not sure there was a reference - but I’ll find a screenshot. I take a B complex So I started supplementing with omega

Advice on Results Please
Hello, I've been trying to find my sweet spot since starting HRT and discovering I was undermedicated. I've just had my latest test results back although I keep having issues with the blood samples for Medichecks so some tests have been redone and other are missing. Anyone else have issues with this

Look after yourself!
Hi everyone, as you will know from previous posts, my hubby has decompensated liver and is still drinking, with an "If I die, I die" attitude. So today saw me at the GP for myself (felt a bit self indulgent tbh) and I've got low haemoglobin, low vitamin levels, possibly due to Covid a couple of months

Egg collection results
Finally the wait is over. The dr called me to give me results for my EC. Out of 4 eggs 2 were matured and fertilised and 1 didn’t make it. I take comfort that I have 1 embryo that is now frozen. It is a 3BB @ day 6, he mentioned the best would have been 4AA just to give me an idea of where we are (this

Liver Fibrosis F3
I was told they caught it before it turned to Cirrhosis and that it can be reversed with diet as mine is probably linked to being overweight and
Fatty
Liver
. I have been diagnosed with GAVE (aka Watermelon Stomach) which is rare and they found out about my liver due to a link with GAVE.

Omega 3
I've read that many fish oil supplements are rancid and low quality, but I've also read that the linseed i usually take doesn't have as much omega 3 as animal sourced options. What brands are recommended...

Caring for Dad with liver cancer........
My Dad is 82, and was diagnosed in August this year. He'd been unwell for most of the year, then caught Covid in June and thankfully this led to some blood tests from his GP. He then collapsed and got taken into hospital where he was diagnosed with liver cancer. He has got 3 metastatic tumours, and
