cause of fatty liver - #20047
I am really worried about what I just found out after my last check-up. The doctor told me I have a fatty liver, and honestly, I don’t know what to think about it. I mean, I've always been pretty active, but I've been running around like crazy with work and barely had time to eat right. I guess I've let my diet slide in the past few months. My family has a history of liver issues, and I just never thought it would happen to me. I’ve heard that the cause of fatty liver can be linked to obesity and alcohol, but that’s not really my thing. I don’t drink much at all and I’m not overweight, or at least I didn't think so! But my doctor mentioned the cause of fatty liver could also be related to too much sugar or even diabetes, which has me freaking out a bit because I have a sweet tooth and my mom has diabetes. Anyone know if stress can be a cause of fatty liver too? All these things jumbling together in my head – like, could it really just be my lifestyle catching up to me? I really need help understanding what the cause of fatty liver might be for someone like me! Thanks in advance for any insight!!
