How much do I need to worry ?
My gastro dr ran tests on me ultrasound says my liver is enlarged21 something and my fibrous score is stenosis F02 . She said I should be good for the rest of my life that it won’t go into cirrhosis . I do not drink never have but they still tell me to cut out drinking which like I said I don’t . My dad was an alcoholic and traumatized me so alcohol has never been a question in my life. I do love food and recently been dieting and have lost about 17 lbs I’m over weight and I have been eating healthier but don’t know what to eat for liver health . Any input is appreciated I am also on a salt restricted diet for high blood pressure .
Thank you so much it’s a big help because I really didn’t know where to start on foods for liver health . What would a person use in place of butter . Or is butter ok ? I don’t eat a lot of it but I do like an occasional baked potato.
it is recommended to avoid and/or limit saturated fats like butter https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5272176/. Has your doctor recommend, or have you considered meeting with a nutritionist? They can be a really valuable resource! Sending well wishes, Julie (team member)
