This feels like something that should be discussed with your Primary Care Provider. This place is a great source of information and motivation, but for medical advice I would consult a professional with knowledge of your personal symptomatology.

Would discuss in depth with your physician.

Asking the doctor is a gamble because you don’t know if you have a doctor educated on keto as an option.
So if your doctor says don’t do it or it’s not helpful, I’d keep looking for a different doctor personally.

Just remember, @Half_Bruin that medical science breakthroughs run from 30-50 years behind. So even with keto starting to gain medical acceptance in some circles, many "traditional medicine" practitioners have either not studied ketogenic diets for themselves - or the medical group to which they belong or insurance provider they use will not allow them to formally offer this as a choice.

My personal opinion is, in any "formal" diagnosis, to always get a second opinion, a second set of eyes on test results and recommended instructions going forward. As an example, one doctor may have the oldest experience, and he may believe that ONLY prescription drugs can help treat the condition. Another doctor may believe in the natural approach - vitamins and supplements - either alone or paired with low level prescription drugs to treat the condition. Yet another doctor may believe that diet must be used to treat the condition before anything else is considered - in his/her experience, 85% or more of symptoms resolve with consistent dietary compliance...

So a person who stopped with the first doctor in this example may not have known that diet could have any effect at all on his/her condition. On the reverse, a patient who only saw the last doctor may not have even known that there were medications to help the condition, perhaps not until a year later and/or permanent damage was done...

No doctor, even a specialist, can possibly study every single aspect of a condition, treatments, and health plans. There are not enough hours in a day or enough days in a lifetime to hit every aspect. Additionally, some doctors ask all the right questions, when other doctors ask questions unrelated to the issue at hand... We must be our own advocates.... If something doesn't seem up to date, in depth, or applicable to us, we owe it to ourselves to seek a second, or third opinion...and then still decide the course of treatment, limits, and back up options ourselves.

While there are a few medical practitioners on MFP, I don't know any who are personally treating others on this site. This site is not intended for medical advice. BUT, that being said, my own specialist, my Endocrinologist, has thanked me on numerous occasions for bringing talking points or questions in to his office - that were crowd-sourced from my friends here. He is a big fan of crowd-sourcing information, and in fact, he pointed me to this site (as a returning user) when I began treatment with him. He has gone on to research things we've talked about - and even done testing within his client base (for those with similar symptoms or reactions) and found that things we've tried out on me have repeatable results for some of his other patients...

He, due to regulations and such, cannot give this as a first course suggested action, but he can say that he has had multiple patients in his care try this step or that and having positive results, but watch out for XYZ...

We, as patients, should never be afraid to respectfully question or discuss significant health concerns with our doctors. No one wants a WebMD Encyclopedia for a patient, clueless and full of fear-mongering, but respectful, educated discussion is generally welcomed. If my doctor will not explain to me the how or why behind a diagnosis or requested treatment, s/he will not remain my doctor for long.

@noorapu1000 I highly recommend that you use any recommendations here to do your own research and discuss with your care team... Good luck.

I received this diagnosis a couple of years ago before my transformation. I'm looking forward to having another ultrasound done to see if I have eradicated the problem.

I don’t really understand the long response to simply echo my sentiments. I will say it again, I will say it everytime, do not take medical advice from online forums. See your doctor, see another doctor, see a 3rd and 4th doctor, but do yourself a favor and get things checked out by people familiar with you and your medical history.

I live in a region with generally terrible medical care. I was sick and getting worse and worse for over 5 years before I finally discovered I had celiac disease. Sadly to learn this I had to send all my records and test results to a doctor my cousin worked for in another state. Further testing proved him correct on the celiac diagnosis. I was born with a chiari malformation (basically your skull is too small and your brain is herniating out into your spinal column). I had to go out of state for surgery because half the neurosurgeons here had no clue. The only neurologist in my town said he really thought maybe my issues were chronic fatigue syndrome and I should try Adderall to give me more energy!!! Had brain surgery and just like that no more CFS.

I guess I'm jaded by really bad experience of "trusting my doctors" so I'm all for internet research and advice from others. I've now found a doctor who understands I've got crazy stuff going on and she accepts my suggestions on the tests she should order and at least 8/10 times I'm right. Also no one cares more about your health that you yourself so I see nothing wrong with doing your own research. Check out reputable, peer reviewed studies on LCHF and NAFL. Many show benefits (researched this exact thing for my husband). So I guess to sum up make sure your doctor isn't an idiot before taking their advice and advocate for yourself.
