Suggest Remedy For High Liver Enzymes And Fatty Liver

Posted on Mon, 23 Feb 2015

Question: Hi. My Dr. said that my liver enzymes are high. Not in the 1000's but high and that I could have a fatty liver. My glucose levels were also high. Pre-diabetic. First off, how can i reverse fatty liver disease? I've just been eating fruit, multigrain crackers, peanut butter, and healthy turkey wraps because I have no idea what to eat. Not a big fan of chicken :( Is fruit healthy for diabetics?

Thanks. :)

Brief Answer:
Following answers to your queries.....

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.

1. Fatty liver is often present when you also :
- have pre/diabetes
- are overweight

2. If you follow a healthy diet and lifestyle regimen, that will help reduce transaminases, reverse fatty liver and optimize blood sugar levels.

3. With regards to diet, I advise to :
- eat often and small portions
- avoid fatty, sugary foods
- can eat turkey instead of chicken
- consume more fish, vegetables, olive oil, two eggs per day
- with regards to fruits, I advise to eat : green apples, 1 small banana per day, oranges, kiwi, plums,
- avoid fruits in syrup and corn syrup

4. I also advise to take supplements containing multivitamins and minerals and herbal extract to optimize blood sugar level.
I advise to take vit supplements and milk thistle extract to optimize liver enzymes and reverse fatty liver.

All the best!

Brief Answer:
Not related to fatty liver, biliary/gastritis rule out

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

Thank you for following up.
Your symptoms are not related to fatty liver, but to possibly :
- cholecyst issues
- gastritis

Apart from blood tests, I also highly advise that an abdominal ultrasound be done, to rule out gall bladder issues.
You, might possibly need to undergo an upper endoscopy to check for ulcers or inflammation in the stomach lining.

All the best!

Okay! So i am watching what i eat as far as carbs go and i have been taking milk thistle for the past two days..but the dr also said my glucose was a little high like prediabetic..do i have to stay away from all sugar and carbs? Or do I just need to cut down a little bit ?

Brief Answer:
Repeat the test after 4 weeks...

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,

Thank you asking again.

You are reporting that your glucose were a little high, so you don't need to stay totally away from all sugar and carbs but you need to cut down a little bit. If I were your treating doctor I would recommend to repeat the glucose test 4 weeks after new diet. If your sugar level is still high then I can recommend you a more strict diet without sugar.

Wishing you all the best
Dr.Klerida
