I see so many others who have been sober and the saying goes if they can do it then so should I. Please pray for me that I stop and stop soon or I know I’m going to die.

    I was recently diagnosed with cirrhosis, not bad enough for transplant but it makes me sleepless, mood changes, stinging and just sudden shocks throughout my body. The thing is, I told my doctor for at least two years my liver was bothering me, he laughed it off and said it could be many things, then, when the numbers got so high, he sent me to liver autoimmune specialist for autoimmune hepatitis, liver doc looked over my numbers quickly, told me I didn’t have autoimmune hepatitis, he said something else was going on and my primary doc needed to send me to a liver specialist, the doctor didn’t put that in the paper work, and when I told my doctor he said I needed the liver specialist, my doc kept flipping through the papers and he didn’t say it in his report, I told that it didn’t matter and I wanted my liver checked, he sent me for ultrasound and it came back as cirrhosis diagnose, then went to cat scan, the report said I had so many nodules they couldn’t be counted! I’m going to be sure and remind my doctor of how he blew me off for over two years and this could have been caught a lot sooner! My advice is don’t let your doctor blow you off, it’s better if you catch it early as possible then you know to change your diet, and make sure to eat healthy🙏💕

      Depends On the stage. If end stage a bit of the liver may get better but there is too much scar tissue, it's eventually game over. Acites, constant fatigue, blood issues such as low iron, severe constipation, lack of concentration and focus plus other fun stuff.
      It sucks. You'll have good stretches then bam a major setback.
      FWIW I am end stage.

    I did my blood test yesterday after 5 weeks of 100% no carbohydrates no sugar no fruits no starch no red meat diet. My Liver panel test result shown AST , ALT , GGT level all perfect! Far from its top range. Just 5 weeks. My fatty liver is reversed to healthy normal. I lost 4-5kg just from dieting and stop eating after 7pm till next day lunch. 2 meals a day. Only boiled using water, steam Fish , tofu , cabbage broccoli veggies , chicken breast , black coffee no sugar for afternoon lunch and green tea no sugar during evening dinner not later than 7pm. After 7pm I fast till next day lunch 12pm. The fasting time is extremely important as this time allows digestion and some hunger which makes our body burn the fat within without exercising. Exercising barely able to reach the fat around our liver. So fasting is the effective way. I had No milk (contain high fat and high sugar) . No snacks. No all kind of bread which still are carbohydrates. No cake. No biscuits. No rice. No noodles. No fruits especially as it’s fructose are directly process only by our liver! Just 5 weeks and fatty liver is back to normal with proven liver function blood test compared to my previous test result 5 weeks ago. I feel very lively light and positive. I lost 5kg. Also My cholesterol and sugar level were also extremely good blood test result! I m looking way younger and my body is nicer too. I m 33 years old male. Non smoker non alcoholic. Didn’t work in a toxic environment. I didn’t exercise. But I ate much rice , fatty red meat, and milk and cookies and fruits. I slept late before. Now I kicked those bad habit n bad diet. After recovered from fatty liver, I continue my way of eating n fasting n sleeping time. I reintroduced some healthy carbohydrates back into my diet. Such as some corn carrot , some wheat bread, a little potatoes. Please make sure u do not overdo it. I really mean only some. Lack of discipline and taking it for granted will cause regrets. I’m sharing for mankind and for those who were helpless from useless doctors. And I’m sharing in memory of my late father who passed away due to end stage liver disease.

    My friend died last year of this. We would drink all through our student days and beyond. When I was 32 I stopped drinking, I just didn't care for it any more. I didn't miss it and I didn't miss the hangovers. My friends often tried to pressure me into drinking with them but I just laughed it off, it didn't change my mind and I still enjoyed the social aspects of going out with the lads. I would still buy a round irrespective of the fact that I wasn't having alcohol myself. My friend continued to drink regularly, and by this I mean to say to excess, for the next 25 years. He was a wonderful person, probably the most intelligent and talented person I have ever met. He was 56, and I really miss him. Alcohol is so destructive, it kills so many people. it should be banned but of course that will never happen.

    • @LukeSkywarp
      @LukeSkywarp 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Totally disagree about banning alcohol. It was tried already in the United States and was a total failure. Making alcohol illegal just means putting more people in prison and deadly homemade alcohol like moonshine being made on the black market. It won't stop people from drinking. If heroin were legal for instance, people wouldn't be dying as a result of fentanyl overdose. Everything should be legal so it is made safer. And people with problems need to seek help. More rehabilitation centers should exist and be available alongside universal healthcare. Prohibition never works.

    My brother was diagnosed with cirrhosis (child A) this year. He is 35 and has been an alcoholic for 20 years. He is not taking his diagnosis seriously and continues drinking. My guess is about 10 beers a day, or around 2-3 litres of white wine. It is dreadful knowing that he might not live very long. We keep offering our help and assistance but as soon as you mention his addiction, he gets really angry. It is beyond devastating watching your brother drink himself to death...

      Not always, they dont know why. A friend died a year ago. Her sister passed 6 months before. After both passed their younger sister went and got checked, she to has it and is currently on transplant list at Duke University hospital. I got a new liver in Sept. 2020. Never drank, did drugs, was active and ate a well balanced diet, due to my husband being diabetic I prepared all our food we were both healthy. They said yes it can be heritage and it could be just no reason at all. No one in my family ever had illness like this on either side of my family. My friend had it in every sister and a brother. They just dont know.

      John Underwood. I have non-alcoholic cirrhosis………from my diabetes. About 6 months ago, I FINALLY after years, got serious , and went to the Keto Diet…..plus…….Intermittent Fasting. I eat one meal a day which is a piece of meat ( steaks, chicken, seafood, etc. ) and very low carb vegetables. If you think logically about that, it is a perfectly healthy way to eat ! Now, the IF is another ballgame ! That definitely is harder, but it appears that THIS is where the healing all begins ! So, in 6 months…….already my diabetes is starting to turn around ! The Labs on my liver have not changed…….yet…….but, just the fact that we ARE seeing progress already with my diabetes……..is so very encouraging to me. I am 77 years of age. Rarely, but now and then, I cheat. But, for the most part, I am true blue to my Keto plus I.F. And John ? Noooooooo exercise is needed. THAT statement was from your Mama’s doctor, I suspect ! The diet plus the supplements she is on is ALL she needs. Get hooked up watching Dennis Pollock, perhaps, on Beating Diabetes. His way of eating is perfect for any cirrhosis person. God bless you and keep you and your Mama, John ! ❤️

    When people say there's no symptoms, there's most definitely early signs, like blood pressure issues, it's subtle and builds up over time.
    It's just that humans tend to ignore the sudden ills of the body that recover quickly, and get used to them over time until one day the accumulation of abnormal symptoms builds up to a catastrophe.

    To all that drink and have cirrhosis please go to AA. The first step is admitting you are an alcoholic. You can not cut back that is not enough. I lost my husband 2 yrs ago to alcoholic liver disease. He got diagnosed Summer of 2016 and died in fall of 2018. He suffered greatly and so did I. If you say to yourself I will soon quit or cut back you are lying to yourself. Once he started having fluid of his abdomen and did not stop drinking he had only 6 to 9 months to live. He died in 8 months

      He sad,y died a week after being in hospital , he was on nil by mouth, he said he was thirsty so I asked the specialist if it was ok for him to have soda, he said yes, so I went and bought one at the hospital shop, my hubby took a few sips and seemed fine, then he sudden,y said he couldn’t breath, I alerted the nurses they came in and put him on oxygen , a few hours later he died.

    If you have done your annual check up i.e. blood test you will know immediately the cirrhosis of your liver. If your liver has an initial growth of a very small tumour or a fat deposit or as a result of alcohol etc the release of an enzyme ALT will be detected in your blood. This detection is detected early and will signal to you early and get treatment or to stop drinking or stop eating fatty foods etc.

    the doctor says see a dietician. only problem with that they cost alot of money, and i cant follow a diet. if i follow a diet, not to intervere with diabetes i will be living of a piece of lettuce daily. thats something i cant do.

    Us British are terrible for binge drinking so 4 or 5 pints a day probably doesn't seem that bad. It's not enough to be an alcoholic but definitely above average and fatal consumption.
    We also tend to think we're above different types of drinkers "ooooh well I drink vintage cast pinot noir not that lower class gutt-rot" might be easier on the stomach but you're no better than that person tanning a bottle of frosty jack's
    I read somewhere that 90% of those diagnosed with Cirrhosis aren't alcoholics, they tend to be that "person who drinks with company at the pub" or "has a tinnies after work" It's like America with food, a super size meal from McDonalds is normal over there but is completely unhealthy and glutenous to everyone else

      What do you want to hear? That you can continue to drink with liver disease and somehow your health will improve? It won't unfortunately and no there's no magic cure anyone is hiding from you either. Let's stop reading conspiracy theory nonsense shall we. Also, there are so many different types of cancer that "one magic cure" would be pretty much impossible to produce so big pharma aren't keeping us sick to cash in. I mean the person who came up with a cure for all cancer would be rich beyond belief so they'd be pretty stupid to want to hide that from us lol. The bottom line is, if you abuse your body for years on end, ignore the warning signs and shun everyone who tries to help you (which alcoholics tend to do) you will more than likely end up at a point where the damage can't be undone. The liver is a very forgiving organ until you keep pushing it over many years and then you're in trouble. The first step to having any sort of comfortable life after that starts with you quitting alcohol! If you continue you're pretty much banging nails into your own coffin at a rapid pace.
