Having a fatty liver is very common, and it isn't restricted to people with autoimmune thyroid disease :

The fat can be reduced or eliminated with a high fat, low carb diet :

Kla88,

The liver metabolises hormones, converts T4 to T3 and filters toxins.

Low thyroid hormone can influence how proficiently the liver is working and many members have suffered raised liver enzymes, which may indicate inflammation.

If you drink alcohol, it is advisable to stop. A healthy diet & life style may help reduce fat as will optimising thyroid hormone levels. Do you have blood sugar issues ?

Milk Thistle supplements are good for cleansing the liver and also reducing insulin resistance.

.

Fatty Liver Disease can be linked to low thyroid hormone.

Hi Radd,

Thanks for replying to me, I don’t really drink that much alcohol or have problems with blood sugar levels, I have just had a baby though and read somewhere this can occur during pregnancy?

I haven’t had any blood tests done with regards to it as of yet it just flagged up in an abdominal scan I had done for gallstones.

Being *NOT* Optimally dosed with thyroid hormones plays a big part in having fatty liver (NASH) . Going on *Gluten Dairy Sugar Fat free* diet is very Beneficial . Your diet should have lots of vegetables and very low on fruits because of sugar . Exercise is very helpful too .

NAC is very Helpful , Dandelion , Schissandra berry , Milk Thistle seed .

There is a product that contains all these ingredients except there is no NAC that you would need to supplement by itself .

"LIVER HEALTH " By Herb Pharma . It's a Tincture you mix in a small amount of water .

I had a test that shows fatty liver as well and high cholesteol .....it was due to being hypo thyroid ugh

Even though my diet was super clean and I exercise and am fit ....I was stunned with results....but due to my hypo thyroid status it caused the issues

This is what I feel is causing mine too, years of being under treated and I’m only finally getting levels optimal.

Yes. Below is a ThyroidUK link to a case study showing how unmanaged Hashimotos can affect the liver.
