why fatty liver happen - #21058
I am trying to understand why fatty liver happen to me. For the past year, I've been feeling kinda off, and my doctor recently ran some tests that showed I have fatty liver. I've never thought much about my diet, but I've been eating a lot of takeout and sugary drinks, which I guess isn’t great? I never thought it could lead to something like fatty liver happen. I've also been feeling really tired all the time and sometimes have this weird discomfort in my abdomen, but I thought maybe that was just stress from work. I mean, why fatty liver happen at my age? I’m only 34! My family has a history of liver issues but nobody really talked about fatty liver. I really don’t wanna end up with more serious conditions, and when I looked online, there’s so much conflicting info about why fatty liver happen. Some say it's just obesity-related, others mention alcohol, but I’m in the healthy weight range and I hardly drink. Is it possible that fatty liver happen just from poor diet? I’m super confused and feel like I need more answers. Can anyone share their experiences or insights?
