Hello and thanks for the query.
The diagnosis of XXXXXXX looks to be the most likely and probable diagnosis in you.
Broadly speaking there is no proven effective treatment for XXXXXXX
A large number of treatments have been studied while many appear to improve biochemical markers like SGPT,most have not been able to reverse histological abnormalities.
Nutrition counseling is very important and sweets and fats are to be curtailed.
Gradual weight loss may improve the process in obese patients.
Insulin sensitizers like METFORMIN and THIAZOLDINEDIONES have shown efficacy in some studies.
Ursodeoxycholic acid has no role in the treatment of fatty liver while lipid lowering agents are used in the treatment but have shown little benefits

VIT E can improve some symptoms of NASH 
You carry on with your weight loss process along with the medicine prescribed by your doctor.
In case you don't find improvement in 6 to 8 weeks ,you may consult a Gastroenterologist .

As far as diet is concerned you should avoid non vegetarian food
Can take sweets and dairy products,once in a while.
Emphasis is on reduction of triglycerides and weight.
Take plenty of fresh fruits and XXXXXXX vegetables.
Take some almonds daily as it has VIT E in it
Adopt a regular exercise regime.
There is nothing to get worried as these lifestyle changes will bring a lot of good in you as you will not only develop good healthy habits but also help you in keeping diabetes and blood pressure away from you.

As far as diarrhea and vomiting is concerned,this may be due to food poisoning and not necessarily because of hepatitis as you are traveling a lot and there are all the chances to get unhygienic water and food.
If all the dietary precautions and proper exercises are done,you shall be all right soon and there may not be any need for MRI.
I hope to have answered your query however you may revert to me for any other query.
Thanks and best of luck.

Thanku for the reply doctor but i have a doubt dr. He was having for the past 5 yrs but till now there was no such pblms but now a days it is taking place regularly i mean when ever he takes food from out side he will hav either vomiting or fever or loose motion so little bit worried because he is not able to take anything from outside other than homely food

Will this continue for ever and he won't be able to take any thing from outside because from the previous month onwards this is happening when ever he takes food from restaurants even if it is a cutlet he is having this pblm

Hello
If your husband gets loose motions and some times vomitings by taking food outside,then it indicates that he may be suffering from chronic amoebiasis because in any other bowel disease he should have had diarrhea otherwise also.
He must be given a course of anti amoebics along with probiotics for at least 2 weeks and wait for the response.
If his symptoms take place again,then a Gastroenterologist may be consulted and investigated for the cause by doing colonoscopy and other relevant tests.
