What Does My Ultrasound Scan Report Indicate?
Question: Is it ok to drink nonalcoholic beer with ast/alt 41/71 enzymes and ultrasound shows signs of fatty liver?
Brief Answer:
In moderation
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,
It is ok to drink low/non-alcoholic beer with an AST of 41 and ALT of 71 in moderation. I say moderation not because of the alcohol content, but because it does have carbohydrate content. If your fatty liver disease is considered non-alcoholic liver disease, then it is very important to watch your sugar/simple carbohydrate intake, as that greatly contributes to fatty liver.
For example, a typical low alcohol beer can have 19 grams of sugar. If you have a couple of those, that will add up.
So, occasional non-alcoholic beer, or one daily, is fine, but do watch your sugars and carbs if you have signs of fatty liver.
I hope this information helps. Please let me know if I can provide further information.
