Fatty Liver

[ickihun]

I have just received a copy of my bloods that I had done on the 12th October and it states my: GGT 100 and ALT 107
There was a covering letter with the results and it states the Liver Biopsy showed some evidence of Steatohepatitis and some Eosinophils possibly due to drug induced Liver Injury. The cause has to the 3 different Biological Injections which I have had in the last 5 years and 18 months before them on Methotrexate. No Doctor pointed out to me that these drugs wreck the Liver.
A few days ago my GP went through my list of Medications and 5 were stopped, 2 were reduced dosages, and 2 were temporarily suspended. Feeling P*ssed Off is how I feel at the moment.

I feel confident for you @Liam1955 . I bet you see a huge imorovement over the next 6mths. I'm wishing you very good healing and recovery from those strong drugs. I'm excited for you as you will see the true affect these tablet have had on you.

None diabetics get fatty liver too. My mum. Although @Liam1955 is reminding me she also takes tablets for pain and high blood pressure. So drugs may be causing my mum's too?

Which one do you think is closest? Which do you believe?

I think both

@lindisfel - Thanks for that Derek.
Also to have my Bloods and LFT done every month for next 3 months and will be seen in early January 2017 in Hepatology Clinic. Began the Milk Thistle 4 weeks ago - so hoping it is now starting to have some effect?

I had abnormal liver readings a few years ago. The Dr asked about my alcohol intake and I said I had no idea when I'd last had alcohol, a long time ago. Months later my husband was talking to a vet pal and they were talking about vitamins etc. The vet said that people (me) take glucosamine for joint pain and that it could cause high liver readings. I stopped taking it and my liver readings came down. My sister took it too, with the same bad results.

I'm trying to substitute anything like pork and beef fat with olive oil, coconut, other lower the cholesterol oils.

Sounds like a bad idea. You should read "The Great Cholesterol Con" by Dr Malcolm Kendrick.

That will help cholesterol ratios but digested fat doesn't cause fatty liver. Doing lchf proved that. For me.
Even specialist said carbs cause fatty liver. Fruit carbs too!
Tablets seem to be agitant and long term use, in some, are causing cirrhosis. Fatty liver can turn into cirrhosis even with NAFLD.

Dr Unwin I think talks about low carb good fats, one can only try what works for them. We certainly would not consume transfats or even Omega 6 oils in any quantity.

I think Malcolm Kendrick has some odd ideas he doesn't believe what one eats causes heart disease!
I go with Dr.Kraft who says hyperinsulinemia causes heart disease and hypertension in many.

I believe hypertension causes heart problems. Pressure in the vessels to a pump would mechanically cause a problem so why not for a heart.

Omega 6 oils , doesn´t everybody get that everyday ... but mostly in too huge amounts ?

 

[lindisfel]

Hi Freema one needs to keep the ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 down. I don't think I have high levels of Omega 6 now. regards Derek

You should read his book.

 

[lindisfel]

You should read his book.

Have you read his recent articles on what causes heart disease? I think he is rather enamoured of his own wisdom and has ignored the science behind diabetes and heart disease? D.

 

[lindisfel]

And what causes high blood pressure? Derek TE="ickihun, post: 1299779, member: 196960"]I believe hypertension causes heart problems. Pressure in the vessels to a pump would mechanically cause a problem so why not for a heart.[/QUOTE]
