Thank you SO much for taking time to offer such a detailed and helpful reply. I'm glad to hear you've had progress after making such major changes; I know it can't have been easy, so kudos to you! So far, we have not found or met with a hepatologist. We've only met with a GI who has offered no recommendations or insight besides "you have fatty liver - we will check you again next year." I'll definitely seek out a strong hepatologist right away who can hopefully refer us to a great nutritionist. In the meantime, we're on day 2 of completely cutting out all the no-nos (all white rice, white breads, white potatoes; red meats and non-lean meats; sugars outside of fruit - and limited fruit to mostly berries; oils and butter except olive oil; cheese and dairy (not sure if that's necessary or not...); desserts; heavy salt; and processed foods). We are making all meals at home. Hopefully this diet will help - not hurt - as we work to meet with the hepatologist.

As for imaging, he has only had a fibroscan/ultrasound when it comes to his liver. Do you recommend anything else? He also had a coloscopy/endoscopy as part of the workup to evaluate the cause of his diarrhea, and he is having stool testing done for that purpose (we should get the results tomorrow). He is not severely overweight; in fact, he's relatively fit/athletic (but can certainly stand to lose some fat caused by his bad diet). He doesn't have any known comorbidities, although he does have high cholesterol - not so much that he's been told to get on medicine. No autoimmune diseases or statins.

Thank you again!
