Hi,

Welcome to the forum. It is nice to know you are interested in getting well. Yes, fatty liver is a serious disease when left neglected, it may lead to jaundice, hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver failure/ liver cancer and finally death. If a person is aware, the situation can be made better.

To bring back the liver to normal should be your goal. Liver is the largest and the most important organ of the body. You should get immunized with hepatitis A, B and C. This is a precautionary measure that can be taken to help the liver get better. You should consult your treating doctor about which vaccination will be the best for you.

You should lose your weight, exercise regularly, take plenty of water ( pure and hygienic). You should quit smoking, alcohol or any other addiction. Cut on your carbohydrate and sugars, cut down on caffeine intake, avoid butter, red meat, myonaise, oily junk food.

Take more fruits, juice and veggies. Prefer boiled and blanched food over spicy food. Eat papayas, take sugarcane juice ( these are good for the liver ). You can take white meat ( limited). Eat whole wheat grain products, eat low fat milk products.

Yes, you should keep in touch with your treating doctor and take medicines as prescribed. Some appetizers, antacids and liver tonic will be very helpful for you. Strictly follow the doses prescribed by the doctor. Adequate rest and good sleep are essential for a healthy liver.

Have a good day. Take care.
