    Fatty liver disease is easily reversible with a lifestyle change, unless its NAFLD.

    Then safe to say its most likely NAFLD? Which should be fine, you don't have to be a burger eating overweight human to get NAFLD, sometimes its just a glitch with your body and how it processes foods. What were your numbers on the LFT's and what presented you to the Doctor/Hospital?

      Thanks Joe l don't have numbers off hand but l know they are creeping up. I have to have regular bloods done as l have autoimmune illnesses also had bloods scans and colonoscopy done when l was diagnosed with diverticulitis my liver enzymes were picked up on several blood tests. I'm worried that l will have to have a transplant and now I'm finding that I'm constantly watching what l eat incase it contains fat or sugar it's becoming an obsession

    You should find out what you're numbers are, always ask doctors for a copy of the report. Also, if you have been diagnosed with fatty liver, I would get a blood sugar monitor and check for glucose intolerance (That's a big sign of any liver disease, and a great test you can do from the comforts of your own home)
