[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1296780, member: 196898"] Raised GGT concentrations indicate that something is going on with your liver but not specifically what. In general, the higher the result the greater the damage to your liver. Elevated concentrations may be due to liver disease, but they may also be due to [URL='http://labtestsonline.org.uk/understanding/conditions/chf']congestive heart failure[/URL], drinking alcohol, and use of many prescription and non-prescription drugs including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), lipid-lowering drugs, antibiotics, histamine blockers (used to treat excess stomach acid production), antifungal agents, anticonvulsants (seizure control medications), antidepressants, and [URL='http://labtestsonline.org.uk/glossary/hormone']hormones[/URL] such as [URL='http://labtestsonline.org.uk/understanding/analytes/testosterone']testosterone[/URL]. I omitted the ones related to pregnancy, which I assume are irrelevant here. However statins may be a culprit, or aspirins or ibuprofen etc, My PPI and heart meds have this as a possible side effect (jaundice) Mot sure if probiotics reduce NAFLD, but there are some things advertised on TV that claim to bind fat for weight loss, but have seen no reports on how succesful they may be. Metformin probably works as well in this respect. As NoCarbs said, it seems that the easiest way to burn off this adipose fat is via a ketogenic diet since this is the way to get the fat moving out of the liver once stored. Rigorous exercise is another way, but not everybody is up for that. I don't think there is a magic bullet since the body hangs on to adipose tissue and is reluctant to give it up except in an emergency such as starvation. Ketosis is a way of trickung the body to think this is happening. Probiotics IMHO simply ease metabolism and food transit so more carbs can be pumped into the luver, which not such a good thing.
