reason of fatty liver - #14679
I am trying to figure out what could be the reason of fatty liver because my doctor mentioned it in my recent check-up, and honestly, I have no clue how that happened. I mean, I've always been pretty active, or at least I thought I was! Anyway, about a month ago, I started feeling super tired all the time and noticed this weird pain in my upper right abdomen. Thought it was just stress from work, but when I got blood tests, my liver enzymes were elevated. Then they did an ultrasound, and boom, they said I had fatty liver. The thing is, I don’t drink alcohol much, maybe a glass of wine once in a while. I’ve read a bit online and there's like a ton of reasons of fatty liver, like diet and stuff, but I just don’t get how I could end up with this. Maybe its hereditary? Both my parents are healthy, no liver issues that I know of. Could it be from my penchant for snacks? I do love my chips and desserts! I wanna make sure I’m doing everything right to manage this. Has anyone else faced this? What are the main reason of fatty liver it could be? Any tips on lifestyle changes too? Just trying to grasp all of this before I get overwhelmed. Thanks for any advice!
