Fatty Liver W/Scarring

[Brightstar101]

Hi,

I have been a Celiac for 5 years. Before Celiac, I was always a good weight and active. After Celiac, I was sick for a long time. I'm not a huge eater and eat healthy most of the time. I was just recently diagnosed with fatty liver with grade 2 scarring.

I am over weight but not a lot and no matter what I do, I just gain weight. Have any of you experienced this and what did you do? Thank you 😊

Welcome to the forum, @Brightstar101!

Please don't get offended at this question but I would like to ask if you are serious about eating 100% gluten free since diagnosis?

Apart from that, thiamine supplementation can be therapeutic in arresting non alcoholic fatty liver disease: https://journals.biologists.com/dmm/article/14/3/dmm048355/237831/High-dose-vitamin-B1-therapy-prevents-the

Which makes one wonder if the problem can be caused by poor thiamine assimilation from the diet.

Thank you for your reply! Yes, we are 100 percent a gluten free household and I do not eat out so I learned my lesson with this 2 years in. Maybe, we have trouble absorbing Thiamine just like B12 and D. I will look into this 😊

Besides supplementation, are you getting regular exercise? You may also want to look into low carb or pleo diets, as they can help with weight loss.

Hi,

Thanks for your comment! I have tried everything under the sun and besides not eating, the scales will not budge! I do exercise but that doesn't do anything either. I wasn't like this until I was diagnosed with Celiac 5 years ago. I do take B12 injections, Vitamin D sublingual but it still stays low. I wonder if I'm still not absorbing right even though I have been completely gluten-free for years!
