Hello,
Second stage of fatty liver should be aggressively managed so that it doesn't advance further.
Librium and NEXIUM helps in digestion while BEVON is a multivitamin.
Ursocol is given for treating fatty liver although it's role is controversial,however it can be taken.
Reduce your weight by 10-12 kgs.
Do get tested for cholesterol levels.
Carry on with your diet you are taking. It is good.
Sunflower oil is good. You can use olive oil also.
Consumption of regular alcohol with obesity with grade 2 fatty liver should be tackled aggressively and that's why your doctor is asking you to be serious about it.
Moreover role of lifestyle modification is much much more as compared to the role of medicines.
Thanks
