Hi Doc. The Doctor here told me that I have a fatty liver and advised mo to do diet and exercise. Can you help me in this matter? What are the do s and dont s and the proper choices of food. I made some research on the net but some are contradicting others (in terms of right food). Anyway, the utrasonogram result says Liver is normal in sizes and shows increased echotexture. No focal lessions seen. No evidence of any intrahepatic biliary dilatation. Portal vein measures 1mm and is normal. Common bile duct appears normal. Can you interpret it and give me an advise. Thank you so much.
HiT hanks for choosing Chat Doctor for your query. Age, gender, duration of the problem, alcohol or Chat Doctor. I have gone through your problem described in your case. Increased echo texture on ultrasound is reflected in the form of fatty liver (due to deposition of excessive fats). The first thing to be avoided is stopped consuming alcohol (if you are an alcoholic), foods to be avoided are oily vegan and non-vegan dishes, fast/junk foods, avoid using larger doses of Paracetamol. Your diet should consist of leafy green vegetables, fresh fruits, baked white meats like poultry, fish and eggs. You can also use olive oil, black seeds (Nigeria sativa) which have proven to be effective in preventing liver damage,
