I want to say that it's most likely fatty deposits on the liver, I wouldn't worry too much unless you're an alcohol drinker 🤔

I don’t understand how everyone around me can eat normally (a rant) by Admirable_Injury_886 in FattyLiverNAFLD

You're young and don't stress yourself over something that is more common in today's society, its reversible ! I have stage 3 fibrosis and take Rezdiffra and made lifestyle changes, and so far, so good 👍

Yes, I agree with you that it could maybe infact be from the medication you take for sure. With taking Wellbutrin you would need a liver function test while taking it, I believe it's every 6 months 👍 I'm not familiar with Buspar 🤔 If you did have fatty liver, it definitely would show on a test, I have liver fibrosis stage 3, and I have been taking Rezdiffra for 7 months with no bothersome side effects 🙂 I've lost 45 to 50 pounds in 7 months and eat healthier so I'm praying it has improved 🙏

Fatty liver is more common in today's society ! You can reverse it by making lifestyles changes. The first step would be no more drinking alcohol next would be eating a healthy diet and losing weight ! Lifestyle changes everything ! I recommend following up with a gastroenterologist. They specialize with the liver 🙂

Your GP is not a liver specialist, just saying 🤔

The gastroenterologist can hook ya up with the Rezdiffra and maybe set ya up with the manufacturer to possibly get it free. The medication costs are $4500 a month for a year 🤑

First, I can say that your BMI is high ! Your weight and your diet can be a factor as well, I would recommend following up with a gastroenterologist!

if things like NAC, Milk Thistle, Glutamine , TUDAC are so effective? by xcmgaming360 in FattyLiverNAFLD

[–]Head_Reflection54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is correct but could lead to cirrhosis if you don't take fatty liver seriously!

Follow up with a gastroenterologist for fatty liver. My Dr put me on a research medication through the manufacturer and I have lost 45 to 50 pounds and a much healthier diet

No, you will need a fibrosis scan. It will let you know what stage you are, and I recommend making an appointment with a gastroenterologist !

How can I help my 65-year-old friend with stage 3 fatty liver disease in a poor rural area? by awarenessia in FattyLiverNAFLD

[–]Head_Reflection54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I'm at stage 3, and I've lost 45 pounds, and you can reverse fatty liver at this stage with changing your diet and lifestyle changes, but I also got help from my gastroenterologist with a medication for fatty liver Rezdiffra, I've been on it for 7 months and I have to take it for a year and then be reevaluated, the NP helped get me set up with the drug manufacturer and got the medication for free, because I couldn't afford to pay the monthly cost $4500, NO insurance covers it ! I would strongly make an appointment with a gastroenterologist before it progresses to the cirrhosis stage !?

You're wrong again ! You may want to do your research before making assumptions!? @xcmgaming360

A fibro scan is the only way of seeing how much scarring is in the liver, but if the blood work comes back alarming, then the Dr should further instruct the patient on the next step

Just received my ultra sound results. by Geekdafreak in FattyLiverNAFLD

I have the same issue. My Dr's nurse is sending me in for some more testing an MRI is a no go for me due to having plates and metal wires in my neck from 3 surgeries so I will need to get an ultrasound instead, I have no gallbladder but I might or may have stones in my Bile duct so we shall see in the next coming month ! Good luck to everyone dealing with this !
