[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly for non alcoholic fatty liver the best thing it to cut down on sugar and refined carbs and eat less frequently. Do you consume a lot of sugar or fructose?[/quote]

No. I don’t eat that. Or much of it. 
I’m not sure my fatty liver is non alcohol related though. I stopped drinking July 5 and will retest levels Oct 1. [/quote]

I'm the previous poster who talked a lot about fatty liver and weight loss. If you just had elevated liver associated enzymes on bloodwork and didn't have specific testing for fatty liver (FibroScan to test elasticity, liver MRI for fat content, biopsy) and you aren't overweight or with metabolic syndrome related comorbidities (diabetes or prediabetes, etc.) then don't assume it's fatty liver. It's certainly possible but I wouldn't assume.

Persistently elevated liver associated enzymes should trigger a more extensive workup including potential infectious and autoimmune etiologies. In the modern US alcohol related and fatty liver related elevations are what GI sees the most but there are lots of other causes of liver injury. The liver enzymes can be transiently higher after illness - it's seen in a percentage of COVID patients after infection for example.

Did you see a GI or your primary care?[/quote]
