diet help

Hi guys

My liver seems to be incredibly sensitive. Don't want to go into too many details n bore you....but....

more or less normal in studies, but all the classic signs of liver troubles.... docs think there's nothing up but i experience very uncomfortable symtpoms, pain, yellowing, dry mouth, pale stools etc


ANYWAY.....

what diets work well for you... i'm obviously avoiding fats and currently a vegetarian to try and see if that does anything....

last week I was going well, symtpoms improving a bit then ate mashed boiled potatoes (no butter milk or salt) with pinto beans (plain as well) 3 meals in a row (I know, boring and silly, but I was very busy and that's what I had prepared and was in the fridge.....

and the next day BOOM! pale stools! I thought it was the protein from the beans, What do you think?


I ate a LOT of white rice yesterday and all my dry mouth and itchiness came back (not strongly but hadn't felt it for a couple of weeks) ..... no protein or fat yesterday. Maybe it's high GI foods that's preventing my healing??? Then I remembered all the white potato I had eaten.... maybe there's a link there?

Does High GI cause you problems?


In the summer I had a HUGE improvement in symptoms for a few weeks and ate irresponsibly and it all came crashing down again.

Your posts going back to 2013 show you have seen many professionals who rule out liver disease. There is no reason to jump from pale stool to liver disease or Hep. That is a big leap! Especially with all of your testing in the past.

Check with your doctor if you worry. Good Luck!

Aghhh, from your posts this year.

4/10

Blood tests have been more or less normal. I did have raised direct bili (0.5) and ALT 53 AST 39 in october.

Since then they've dropped to normal each test, though I'm clearly mildly jaundiced in eyes and on skin, esp hands. Last bili test my total was 0.3 (a couple weeks ago) while jaundiced!!! :)

INR 1.2 in jan

rest pretty much ok.

I have pale floating poop occasionally after fatty meals, floating regularly, at times well formed, at others not, regularly have undigested food.

doctors say i'm fine... 2 GIs and 1 liver specialist say I'm fine.



And, 4/28

Feeling very desperate bexauae doc thinks im crazy and says nothing wrong with me even tho im clearly mildly jaundiced test has never shown above 1.2
2 other doctors tell me im fine too

Again, please see a physician if you think you have liver disease or something you need help resolving with the symptoms. You have had the same symptoms off and on for some time. It may not hurt to again get checked out by a hepatologist. Best of luck to you.
