I was told today over the phone the result of my scan, I have a non alcoholic fatty liver,my liver markers were higher, and have ascites.
Because my PMR came back, we tought it was the reason .
I was told that I will need to have a diet,what I find troubling me is that also Tamoxifen a medicine for breast cancer can cause it,I took it only for a year.
Any advise on how to control this illness? diet advise?
I guess I should be glad is not cancer. On line I see more about herbal treatments.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
My GI told me to take zinc,fish oil.
I am eating more fruits and quinua.
I never drink,or seldom take medicines for my chronic pain.
Also I take an herbal tea Boldo to cleanse my liver.
I am careful what I take because I had breast cancer.
My next blood work is in June,hope is normal.
When I suggest that to my GI he dismissed it quickly. But it is my body. I began taking Metamucil 2x day for last 3 months, lost a bunch of wt and today my new lab report shows my AST,ALT are right smack in the middle of normal range. I will see my GI in 2 weeks and I am hoping he will be pleased.
The Metamucil forms a thin film of gel in your stomach lining, and controls the rate of sugar digestion. As result I actually have more energy, eat the same normal meals no diet, and lost wt. For last 3 months I had 1 or 2 hypoglycemia attacks total vs almost daily.
Now Metamucil isn't a cure-all. My cholestrol,triglycerides are still high, although they have come down considerably. What I am trying to say is taking Metamucil is not enough, yes it worked marvelously on the AST/ALT, but I still have some work to do with exercise and eat the right fats in order to achieve total health.
Good luck to you. In fact I have lost too much wt i temporarily stopped the Metamucil to gain back a few pounds which should be easy to do.
