General & Family Physician 's  Response
I understand your concern. Your diagnosis is "Alcoholic Liver Disease" ore ALD. If your liver becomes inflamed, you may have symptoms such as: a poor appetite, weight loss, abdominal pain, physical weakness, fatigue, confusion.
Other things that may affect your chance of getting ALD are:Hepatitis C ore B (which can lead to inflammation in your liver), too much iron in your body, and being obese. If fatty liver progresses to cirrhosis and liver failure, symptoms can include an enlarging, fluid-filled abdomen.
There isn’t a medication or surgery to treat ALD. These recommendations include: limiting or avoiding alcoholic beverages, managing your cholesterol and reducing your intake of sugar and saturated fatty acids, losing weight and controlling your blood sugar. Choose healthier foods such as fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Replace red meats with lean animal proteins such as chicken and fish.
All the best.
