Does anyone here have Fatty Liver and have any tips?

First off Fibroscans are rarely accurate. Ultrasound is the preferred diagnostic tool. Lose slowly. Very slowly. I was told nothing processed, Whole Foods, no sugar. Lean meats, lits if fruit and veggies.

Having had the beginnings of NAFLD was what really scared me straight and gave me that last push I needed to lose weight. My pain was located in the upper right quadrant sometimes just above the edge of my ribcage and sometimes just below the ribcage, more towards the front of my body than the side. It was a sudden sharp pain that turned into a dull ache that lasted a few minutes at first but eventually progressed to lasting hours or days. It was exactly as you described in its randomness... you could be fine for days or weeks then it would strike again out of nowhere. I did eventually lose 20% of my body weight (which for me was 43 lbs) at the rate of 1 lb per week and I’ve not suffered a single bout of that liver pain again since.

Congratulations that you’ve already lost weight that’s fantastic! You are definitely on the right track!

I try to make it a rule to never drink my calories so I mostly drink water but also tea or diet soda. I don’t like green tea either, I drink mostly black teas or fruity herbal teas, hot or iced. You could also just try a mug of hot water with fresh lemon which is supposedly good for liver function also. When I get home later I’ll post some more tea information on this thread for ya

Gonna be honest here though, I believe that simply eating less and moving more is what reversed my case of NAFLD, not anything specific that I ate or drank. For all I know the teas “work” by simply making me drink more water than calorie laden drinks, and water simply by itself is good for the body. I also think that being active is key because it uses up the fat that’s stored in the liver for fuel and clears it of excess triglycerides that it shouldn’t be storing there abnormally, allowing it to heal. When I began exercising I couldn’t even walk up a single flight of stairs or walk around the block without being completely out of breath and exhausted. So I began simply walking as much as I could and slowly walked a little more each time. It was slow going at first but every step counts! Eventually I was able to go farther and faster. I progressed to hiking which brought its own challenges but I kept at it. Now I run up and down hills and mountains whenever I want, the change has been night and day! I was 39 years old when I began my weightloss journey, I’m gonna be 46 in a few months and I feel like I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been in my life. If I could do it then you definitely can!

Could be non-related but a little over a year ago I had an MRI for uterine fibroids and on the report they have to note any out of the ordinary findings even if they see something on adjacent organs. They noted I had some small cysts on my liver. My doctor said that the cysts were benign and that many people genetically have them and they are of no consequence whatsoever. I am not aware of an MRI being a diagnostic tool for NAFLD and my liver was healed by then anyway, it was simply an incidental finding. I do wonder about it though and it’s always a good reminder for me to take care of my liver and body in general, it’s the only one I’ve got!

I had a liver biopsy, was at the point where I was vomiting and had severe left-sided pain where the fatty deposits were the worst. Losing weight made the biggest difference with vomiting and pain. I don't have those issues now but my liver enzymes were recently up (90lbs less than before) so I started a liver supplement, no clue if it's helping yet. I drink a lot of herbal tea as well.

@sportygal1971 I I had my liver biopsy when I had gallbladder surgery, no clue if one was before the other but the pain and vomiting was a few years post surgery.

My doctor told me today that both my liver and my pancreas are fatty, so I’ve got to get serious about diet and exercise (really more so the exercise as I eat fairly decent). Happy to find there’s at least one thread here on NAFLD. I get the right quadrant pain, more so when I’ve been walking or moving around a lot, and generally feel icky/bloated. I’m also at my heaviest weight of 191. Here’s hoping we all have success!!

I agree. After my gall bladder was removed I could not eat high fiber or fat without getting severe diarrhea. This was also the period of time that I was trying keto. So felt miserable. I take Cholestepol tablets (prescribed by my doctor) which prevent the diarrhea and now can eat most foods. It also comes in a powder but the texture is really thick and gritty.
