Enlarged Liver of 19cm??

Even if you have haemochromatosis, you are too young for it to have such a major effect on your liver.  Ask for Iron Studies to rule it out anyway.

Eliminate sugars and starches from your diet.  If you are 'rather obese' then you are most likely to have a fatty liver.  The culprit is sugars and starches, and that means potatoes too.  Try it and see, you have nothing to lose.

 

Yes, even if one don't drink you might get fatty liver. Trying controlling one's food intake is a good way to prevent liver from being overworked. In your case since you have a past with gall stones it meant your body didn't have a chance to cleanse itself properly so residues gather to become gall stones. Suggest you begin a new routine each day when you get up after brushing your teeth by squeezing juice out of half lemon, add two teaspoons of honey and two teaspoons of olive leaf extract with about 3 tablespoons of warm water. Stir mixture and drink it quick, you will feel energise . Then have a light breakfast like oats with phylum husk or cereal with banana. Try to take more vegetables and fruits in your meals and lessen your meat intake daily. Abstain from eating in between meals but if need to eat - take some fruits like papaya, banana or celery stalks. At night - 1 or 2 hours before you sleep take another 2 teaspoons of olive leaf extract extract with warm water. Also do take one Omega 3 (1000mg with 180EPA and 120 DHA) and 1 Vitamin E (400iu) after each meal

Plus 1 multivitamins in the morning. You will note that doing by following this routine you have less urge to eat to much as your body will try burn off its excess fat stored to give you same energy level. Try to aim to lose under 10 lbs of weight per month and you will find you will have a more healthy liver. I tried taking milk thistle for more than 5 years but it didn't do me any good for my liver till I tried the suggested regime when I lost 20 lbs in 3 months. If you can find Indian gooseberry as a fruit from Indian produce shop - trying juicing it and drink 3 tablespoons with warm water once per day . If not available as fresh fruit, try to see if you can buy it in powder form online. Keep me posted. Stay positive and have early night too.

Hi - did you ever get to the bottom of this one? I'm dealing with the same thing, enlarged liver (19 cm) with no apparent cause (drink very little, no fatty liver), though slightly overweight.  Thanks a lot

I would like to know what works , I have same problem . 20cm. Makes ya nervous.

I wish I had an answer for you. I had a ct scan w/o contrast for something else that said mine was enlarged at 20cm. I have been having liver symptoms in fact I have every last skin symptom that has just popped up over the last couple months. I had an ultrasound a few days ago and they just called this morning to tell me i had fatty liver. I am 5"1 and weigh 196. They told me it was from being overweight or my diet. I picked up the report and am confused cause it says diffuse increased echogenicity of the liver suggesting hepatocelluar disease likely caused by fatty liver. I'm now freaking out thinking I have a liver disease that was caused by fatty liver and am trying to figure out how to make my liver better.

She told me if I was still having abdominal pain she could refer me to a gastro if I was still having abdominal pain so I took the referral though they can't see me till late August.

I'm curious about the Milk Thistle you mention. Does this help the liver??

Just as people are born with bigger heads, and bigger builds, and different coloured eyes, different people have different sized livers. The size of the liver isnt what matters, its what you do to keep it in check.
