Re: fish oil ?

I've had fatty liver for 15 years and took fish oil for about 3 years and it didn't change a thing with the fat in my liver..or the enzyme count. It did help my cholesterol numbers though--lowered them.

Re: fish oil ?

Thank you for your reply..You had fatty liver for 15 yrs? I just found out i had it. I was scared i was going to die already...The doc never said that i had fatty liver but they said i had small fat filtration on my liver. my enzymes were high but now they are normal. i think they were high because i was taking tylonal 3 for a while..I am trying to get the doc. to put in a consalt for me to go to specliast but the military takes awhile to do all that..What can i do to make it not get any worse? I am not over weight. I do have a little bit of weight in my stomach i have had 4 kids. but this is the first time that i couldnt loose it all..but i am still in my weight bracket. Anyways do you know what is good for me to try? Thank you again for everything..

Re: fish oil ?

I was not overweight when I got diagnosed with it either. I had "fatty infiltration of the liver" when it showed up on ultrasound---then numerous ct scans over the years have shown it too. I also had high liver enzymes, and those seem to go up and come down on their own. They were seriously high at one point and they were gonna do a liver biopsy, but I got scared and just watched what I ate and put into my body for a month, that brought the enzymes back down.

Just within the last 3 months, I've been doing liver flushing. It gets rid of those stones and build up in your liver. My enzymes that were 40+ (normal was 0-40) are now 14 and 15, so the flushing has definitely helped in that respect.

Andreas Moritz has a book called "The Amazing Liver & Gallbladder Flush" which tells everything you need to know about flushing and the care of your liver. Flushing really is a remarkable thing.

Don't be scared about fatty liver---it can be controlled. Just don't let it go for years and years without trying to treat it because it can turn into cirrhosis in some people. Watch your carb intake, your sugars, and keep the drugs to a minimum---drugs are metabolized through your liver and cause it to be stressed.
