Great in depth talks about ESLD. I suffered thru this terrible experience!! I am 7 days out of transplant surgery and a living miracle!! Your post are the most honest account I've seen! Great job and continued success!!! These are the most honest videos on the web!
Thank you Jed and congrats on your new liver!!!
An apple in the morning has very similar waking effects as a cup of coffee. Lemon juice is great for liver health. Heat up a cup of water and add the juice from 1 lemon, daily. Read every single food label before you purchase. Get familiar with the scientific names of preservatives and chemicals that are added to food. Instead of buying deli meat, purchase roasted chicken, turkey, or ham and slice it yourself. Pre-sliced deli meat is loaded with preservatives. Great information here, thanks for sharing your journey!
Hi. Thank you for posting your experience for others to learn from. I am an alcoholic. Quit 7 days ago. I drank heavily for 8 years. I assume I have fatty liver disease though I have no overt symptoms. I generally eat healthy, am at a healthy weight, and started exercising again after a five-year hiatus. Watching your videos reaffirms my determination to continue sobriety and a healthy lifestyle.
Happy New Year, and thank you for unwittingly supporting my sobriety!
I would recommend d getting an air fryer. Chicken in the air fryer is amazing! A dash of pepper and Italian seasoning is amazing! Also does an amazing brussels sprouts, toss in a little olive oil. If you can handle it also does amazing pork chops(especially with Italian seasoning) so juicy and tender I checked 3 times to make sure they were fully cooked!
Just found your video I was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver will be 2 years Oct. Do not drink, or smoke so I was surprised . I do have fatty liver. My ALT is 20 now and AST 25 All the other are in normal range. My meld is 6. Just listening to you have help me a lot. Have you thought about writing a cookbook for the liver? Just listening to the way you talked about they way you eat is fascinating . Have a great day.
I have thought about documenting some specific recipies. I did a couplle of vids later on the channel where I talk about some of my favorite easy liver friendly recipies at home. :)
What do you take for the liver?
also, keep in mind, you mentioned potatoes,,, so, anything high in carbs, like potatoes, converts to sugar.. i know, it sucks, but i have learned a lot about this. ok, back to the video.
lol i just asked you about diet and the next video you answered it. Thanks!
😉
I found your channel and went through all your videos. My best wishes for your recovery. Thanks for all this info which I know I will need for my brother. He is 60, drinks only Vodka severely, all day, like having an IV. It’s been a year now his wife dropped him at moms house (87 YO to be dealing with this. She is under depression and Nervous meds now because of this scene all day). My sister got a March men act to be able to force him into detox, it takes 5 days each time he goes through this horrible withdrawal process and Delirium Tremens. He’s been in an intern rehab facility now for the third time, 3-months at a time and nothing works. He literally drinks the same day out. Dr’s have explained sort of what you are going through and he doesn’t listen. He has been told he has Cirrhosis but we don’t really know how bad, also has emphysema. Learning from you lots!… we know it’s coming. Thanks again
You're so very welcome and I'm glad I can help others. I plan to discuss what lead to my diagnosis and the struggles I had. Many sound simular to what you've described. I'm working on future videos so stay tuned. :-)
12:12 - good point! garlic powder and onion powder, a must get! no sodium but huge in flavor. also, low sodium salt has some potassium added in, but they lowered that a lot over the years, to keep people from getting too much of it.
My husband was diagnosed with cirrhosis just over 2 years ago. We use a lot of varieties of Mrs. Dash. Lots of flavors to choose from!
@@mellinda81what does he takes for the liver?
Educational, keep well
Hello Nick I have been watching for a bit as my daughter has this. She is now home and I'm trying to help her. I have gotten her to watch some of your videos. Thanks for sharing your story.
I'm so glad to help but more importantly that you're there with her. I'm sure she is experiencing a world of emotions, fear and frustration. That will pass with time and her journey continues. 🙂
@@fortressfarms82 we are in different states but do video chats. This time was the worst and I was beyond shared. She's in MO and I'm trying to get her on your channel. Thanks so much
@@sherrimitchell7290 it's my pleasure.
The best food for everyone is red meat, eggs, butter & fish and water. Salt is necessary for proper functioning of digestive and nervous system. Sugar in any form, vegetables, fruits, grains, breads cause inflammation including inflammation of liver. You want eat proper human diet which animal protein and animal fat.
Stay away from red meat if you have cirrhosis.
People with cirrhosis have problems breaking down fatty meats or red meat, for a lack of bile production which is made by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. A carnivorous diet is not that great for a lot of folks with cirrhosis , giving the liver more than it can handle in a broken down function. Also taking tons of meds, either prescription or O.T.C, our liver has to filter about 80 % of it . I have to take my insulin, and high BP meds and beta blocker for portal hypertension. But the rest I will only take if absolutely necessary and for the shortest amount of time only. Trying not to cause even further stress to my liver...
Real food doesn't have labels. It grows in the ground.
Did you ever get bad muscle cramps throughout your body from swelling going down? I have edema (swelling) issues in my legs. My issue with ensure is most of what I can find is high sugar and all of them are super expensive. I've tried the Atkins version.
Thank you so much for all that you share. Can you tell us what is your current eating plan/diet, what foods do you eat? also do you take any supplements? vitamins, minerals, protein drinks etc...I have heard a lot of people take Milk Thistle for the liver, did your doctor recommend any supplements? Thank you in advance.
I'll do a video on different meals in the future (They need to be easy). Maybe I'll do one for B, L & D.
No1 milk thistle No2 tudca everyday see Dr berg.
uh oh, i was afraid you were going to go there.. so my hubby and i had to stop all fruits as they are still sugar. the old myth is “natural” sugar is ok, but its not, and even worse for someone that has to really cut sugar like pre diabetics or full on. google or youtube it, its true. and stevia is the safest sugar subby, but. the others, anything that ends is “tol” is not good for the liver, in particular. i hope my chiming in helps. ok, back to the video. had to pause to just chime in.
does rinsing lower the sodium?
Are your white cells low also? Mine are critical 1.1 . Trying to find how to raise them . Also bad acid reflux ,did you have that too?
My WBC is low also but in the accepted range but barely. My AR reduced some a few months after i stopped drinking but still happens on occasion. Anti nausea meds may have helped me with that but I'm not sure if that was a bonus result. I still get AR but not as often.
Thank you ,most of these chats they never answer. They gave me dash diet ,so basically only beans. Iv been back to drinking pepsi and i got to stop. Don't know about you but my skin is real thin ,spider viens bad . This sucks.
@@valerielock2374 my skin has pretty much gone back to normal (mostly). But it's very sensitive. Cuts and scrapes take longer to heal. Had surgery 5 weeks ago so that's very slow. 💚
I know ! Had a ant bite was red for almost 2 weeks and real sore . Do your palms still get real red? I noticed when I eat certain foods they are worse.
@@valerielock2374 food certainly impacts me. I avoid sodium (as Dr. reccomended) but if I go over I can physically see it.
Have you ever seen the affects that a carnivore diet ? No sugar, no carbs, but you eat meat and animal based products and you eat salt. And fatty liver and liver issues are removing on this diet.
I used to be on the carnivore diet for a few months before I got sick. I wasn' 100% dedicated to it though. Sodium is a no no for liver disease. My Drs. don t want me over 1500mgs a day.The no sugar is a huge plus. I appreciate your engagement! 💚🙂
me again, so, eggs alone are way better and easier on the body than protein drinks and ensure is usually high in sugar. im sorry, i just found your channel and was catching up but i have done hours, days, weeks of research on so much of what you are touching on. many so called “nutritionists” are old school and not customizing the plan to the person. ok,, back to the video again. :-)
Thank you for your support. For sugars the major thing (for me) is the added sugars. In working with my nutritionist(s), I don't go over 24 grams of added sugar (usually less). Premier Protein drinks have low sugar and high protein. Thus far, I haven't had any issues with organic fruits. In many ways it's helped with my digestion. I also saw your comment about potatoes and Thank You for clarifying. I personally boil or bake my potatoes. Fried food are a big no no. 🙂
@@fortressfarms82 you have done your research! im glad you are doing all you can. again, not sure how your channel showed up on my home page, but its an honor to meet you, at least virtually. :-)
@@gailsfoodandstuff The feeling is mutual! I'm just glad and hope that at least person is helped by my videos. When I was diagnosed it was a year of hell trying to fight for life and how to maintain a good diet. For the first several months all my stomach could handle was fruit and those Premier Protein drinks. I would also add 100% Whey for extra protein. My body had gone from 200 lbs to 115 lbs within 3 months or so.
really appreciate you, buds. please talk about your life leading up to end stage, your drinking perhaps. i know this is personal but would help us who drink. thanks. do this, do daily vids and you will be at ten thousand subs. one last thought: i suffer from severe peripheral neuropathy, to the extent that four years ago it started in my big toes but now actually has reached into and above my knees. maybe type 2 diabetes. no health insurance.
Sure. I'll do some prep work to compile some stuff and put a video together. Maybe I'll do a series on it. As we know it doesn't happen overnight and the disease sneaks up on you. Stay tuned :-) !
I have suffered from diabetes and burning and severe stabbing pain in all the nerve endings of my feet for 17 years now. It started in my big toes and then spread through both feet, now I get it in my shins, and fingers, knuckles. It is very painful like torture. I have type two, metabolic syndrome , insulin resistance. Fatty liver and now stage one compensated cirrhosis. Also some autoimmune. Because of diabetes and fatty liver and now cirrhosis has to be a extremely low carb, but sometimes red meat causes pain in liver area and stomach. I don't always care for chicken, now and again only. Sometimes I eat plant based, with eggs , red kidney beans, cottage cheese and home soups from scratch and that will be my diet for 5 months to a time and some fruit, mostly blueberries and apples... I'm 64, it is hard and depressing living with chronic illnesses, especially alone. Nice to have these sites to visit...
Wishing you all the Best Sir. I'm also an alcoholic drinking a bottle of vodka 3 times a week. I'm curious if I may ask, what was the result of your ALTs and AST when you found out about the cirrhosis? Keep fighting hard please!🙏 God Bless!
I had a MELD score in the mid 30's when I was put into critical care/ICU. Way to sick to be operated on at the time.
