If exercising and getting cramps eating some salt normally does the trick at stopping it. If you're sweating a bit have an electrolyte powder every day, a box from pharmacy or one from 7 Eleven for 6 baht Edited March 15, 2023 by scubascuba3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheJayMan Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 In December 2019, my ALT was 81 iu/l and my AST was 37 iu/l. I had NAFLD. My doctor advised me to change my diet and eat less saturated fat and trans fat. I stopped eating fried foods and limited eating hamburgers to once per week. After eight months, I had another blood test and my ALT and AST levels were within the normal range. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgegeorgia Posted March 22, 2023 Author Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) I had a ultrasound done in my liver , nothing has come up said the doctor on looking at it ,however said ok there is fat so lose weight! But the question remains ,I'm getting pain .not throbbing pain just dull pain which I can live with almost like a brusing pain from the liver nothing sharp just dull sort of pain There is no medication apparently and no cure according to the doctor ,so I just live with the dull pain ? Has anyone here got a fatty liver and gets pain ? Also the doctor told me there is another liver test ,she said fibro something,I forget now but she wants to wait 3 months to see how my liver goes on this diet . Has anyone had other liver tests other than the blood ones ?this fibro test she was saying today or even a liver biopsy? She said oh we don't need to go that far at this stage and here I am dying of fatty liver , these doctors have no idea Edited March 22, 2023 by georgegeorgia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does not account for your pain and from the sound of it nothing else was seen on ultrasound that would. Likely cause is something orher than liver. I note in your original post you had no pain so apparently this is new. When did it start? And where exactly do you feel it? Is it constant?

spidermike007 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 There are a few things you can do to strengthen your liver. Pay careful attention to the quality of oil. Alot of food here is fried. When cooking at home, use only rice bran oil (easy to get here and inexpensive), sunflower or olive oil. All have high burn levels and are primarily unsaturated fat. The other thing you can do is start taking milk thistle extract. It is a wonder herb, that supports the liver. There is some evidence that it can aid in cirrhosis, and hepatitis, caused by excessive drinking, various diseases and viruses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She the doctor said to me today it was abdominal ultrasound and everything is ok except the fatty liver . I told her about the dull pain she said this is normal as my liver would be inflamed ? She then fine a touching exam and said felt nothing She said she wants to wait 6 weeks to see the blood results then ? Do U think I should get referred to a liver specialist? Do you tjink I should wait a few weeks to see if the pain is still there ? I have lost 3kg in 2 weeks from staying off protein powder drinks and cutting out chocolates and Ice cream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible you are just overly focused on this and paying so much attention that your mind magnifies normal bodily sensations?? Any other hepatic cause of pain would have shown in ultrasound.
