Fatty Liver

[mat999]

Reduce cholesterol, easiest way is probably to eat less fatty food and swallow a whole raw garlic clove or two per day. Google it for loads of tips.

Drink so that you don't get a hangover ideally once every three days. My theory is that a hangover is your body's way of telling you that it has been poisoned and damage is being done. So find the sweet spot e.g. It is 80mg alcohol for me and then stick to it by doing the maths and counting your drinks.

Research the liver function test numbers online. Repeat a liver function blood test every 6 months and compare to previous results, should be no need for a doctor if you research it, costing I would guess just 500 for the test.

Have cut down on the beer ( down from approx 50 / 60 bottles a week to around 20.

Havent gone back to the hospital yet for an update on liver function but for sure feel a hell of alot better.

Lost around 4 kilos too so things seem to be going in the right direction

Even i didn't drink, since 15 years ago the doctors of any hospital tell me on all my annual check up i have a Midlle fatty liver, always make me scare until an indian doctor in a big bangkok hospital told me "don't worry, we are all the same, we eat too much good", it made me feel so good!!

I have drank most of my life, I was diagnosed with fatty infiltration of the liver more than 15 years ago. It can go two ways, but in Thailand you never know what to believe.

My problems escalated into Acute Pancreatitis, this is not nice, I was told never to drink again. I like a beer too much to comply with that so there was no way I was stopping having a beer. What I have found out over the last 15 years is that if you make sure you EAT some food before you drink you can almost eliminate the pancreas problems, I have lapsed on my own advice and have ended up in emergency about 6 times over the years all because I did not eat first.

Secondly, misdiagnosis - this is a bigger problem. I have constantly been told that I have the fatty liver, however it depends on the hospital you go to as to how fatty the liver is. I have been to 3 hospitals, the first one told me I was one stage from cancer, the next one told me it was mild, I went back to the first one after 3 years and they said it was mild.

But then they decided they found Gall Stones and wanted to operate on me to remove my Gall bladder ( again depends on the hospital) Thursday night they did an ultrasound, no problem, Monday they did an ultrasound (same doctor) and found a 1 inch gall stone. I was previously checked 6 times before by the same hospital and an international hospital in China that all found no evidence of gall stones.

I then went to another hospital in Chiang Mai and three doctors came and double checked my ultrasounds and said that there was no evidence of gall stones whatsoever.

From my experience, keep off any hard liquor, no spirits or lao kao or any of that shit, make sure you eat before drinking, stick to 5 big bottles of Chang per night as a maximum and you will probably be OK. I am not a doctor, but I don't trust the doctors here, If my advice turns out to be wrong and I die I will drop you a PM OK?

You had acute pancreatitis and six visits to emergency and you are recommending sticking to only 5 large Chang a night?

Nah, just cut right down on white food such as sugar, artificial sweeteners, bread, cereals, rice, potatoes etc.

Once you get over the cravings and withdrawal, worse than giving up smoking IMHO,

You won't want them any more and your appetite will settle into a healthier routine so that you can have an occasional splurge on booze, no problem.

Your girth will also reduce as will the extra fat in the liver.

Good luck.
