| Re: Fatty liver - could it contribute to IBS?
Hi Georgette,
I'm not sure: This is just a wild guess.
I know that even though people are slim it isn't an indication of fitness. There are people in our community (an ethnic community), who are slim and fit looking and have regular exercise routines, however, who have developed heart disease. It can be possible not to be overweight, but still not have enough exercise.
Is that a possible reason for fat on the liver? Perhaps talking to your doctor to find out if increases in exercise would help cut down on the fat on the liver.
As for whether the fat would affect the digestive juices that were available - I would guess it might - but I don't know.
I find that I am on the same boat when it comes to keeping my weight. But I do miss some important meals of the day - although I eat well at other meals. On the other hand, one of the ways I deal with the weight loss is to take weigh protein supplements. Weigh protein is produced by the body naturally and helps the body build new tissue - The ones marketed are typically free of carbohydrates, and they don't contribute to the body's fat levels (at least I'm not under the impression that it does).
I hope you find something of help to you.
Cheers, Raju.
