About Me
I'm married with 2 children who're married and we have 4 grandchildren, 2 of each. In 2005 I developed a blood clot in the Main vein that drains the gut. It completely blocked the vein and as a result I had to have 5 feet of small intestine (small bowel) removed. As well as that I also have developed Chronic Liver Disease. I have ongoing issues with very loose stools, fatigue and headaches. I'm a lady of faith and prayer & firmly believe there's always someone worse off than myself!

Close Fatty Liver Disease
In 2005 I had surgery to remove 1.5 m (5 feet) of small bowel due to a blood clot. Since then my LFT's have been elevated and recently was diagnosed with Chronic Liver Disease most likely NAFLD. I also have antibodies to Hepatitis A. I'm on a very restricted diet being very cautious with fats. I have on going LFT's (GGT = 277 U/L normal is 0-36) and I go back to surgeon if it doesn't drop by next test in a month.
Treatments
- Milk Thistle Too Soon to Tell
- I've used this before but ran out. Its very helpful LFT results went from over 400U/L to 68 U/L in 2 years. Am taking it again & will not stop. Will keep you posted.
- Dietary Modification Somewhat Helpful
- Very restricted in what I can have. Fatty food definitely the enemy of liver health. One must be strong and persist with it. When you cheat you suffer.
Close Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
Had DVT after birth of second son which developed into Pulmonary Embolism. Then clot in placenta after birth of third son. In 2005 clot in Superior Mesenteric Vein resulting in small bowel resection.
Treatments
- Coumadin Working / Worked
- Blood thinner to prevent further clots.
