I have been diagnosed with NAFLD. I have never been obese and weight just 154 pounds for a height of 180 cm. The reason for my NAFLD is the abuse of high fructose corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup laden foods. I was big on waffles and pancakes with lots of sugar syrup, and ended up with NAFLD after years of abuse. However, the liver is a lot better now after I stopped consuming white sugar and high fructose corn syrup, and replaced these sugars with palm sugar and maple syrup. I also changed by diet from red meat diet to white meat and pulses diet. Another help in controlling this disease is drinking black coffee without sugar moderately.

I am 42, used to lift weights, let the stomach go about 8 years ago and now I have a "beer belly" without drinking any. Despite that I have always had lots of muscle mass; I've been told I was morbidly obese for 5'11 and 275 lbs. Even at my lowest weight of 225 (the healthiest I've ever felt) I was still overweight due to muscle mass. However, for the past 4 years I have had slight nagging pains in the upper right quadrant of my abdomen, just below the rib cage. I recently broke some ribs and told the doctor of these pains. An ultrasound found that my liver is fatty and this is thought to be the reason for the infrequent pains. I'm taking this VERY SERIOUSLY and I am going to lose weight through diet. I have been a meat and taters man, but I can't go on like this forever.

I was diagnosed with fatty liver when the doctor did a CAT scan to check the course of my leukemia. I was also diagnosed with a swollen spleen. As far as the fatty liver is concerned, I did not know that there were stages of it, but mine is the non-alcoholic version.

Advil. Six months ago, I was diagnosed with fatty liver. Since then, I have gained fourteen pounds, but my liver enzymes have dropped from 66 to 38. I abused Advil. I took it to maximum for years and you're only supposed to do that for six days. The medical establishment may be right to link obesity with fatty liver. All I know is that in my case, they were not. My weight gain was part of my recovery since it was gained through exercise.

I have been trying to eat right since my 20s. (I am now 48.) I have been obese and worsening since puberty. Weight loss has always been impossible. However, for the last two years, I have been having gallstone attacks. I went on a gallstone flush -- the long herbal one with great success. However, I have had pale diarrhea for eight years, and I knew my vitamin supplements were not getting used. I submitted stool samples to a doctor who had more than the ordinary lab testing done. The doctor diagnosed me with fatty liver and pancreatic insufficiency. He put me off all grains, even though my gluten intolerance test showed negative, and on less than 50 grams of carbs per day.

I have the a fatty liver but I don't drink at all so I dug deep and found out that my cholesterol medication caused my fatty liver. I have started to take silymarin (milk thistle) and my liver is going okay now.

I blame my fatty liver on alcohol and belly fat. I have quit drinking for 26 mos. but gained 75 lbs in last year. My AST has gone from 39 to 55 in one year. Am now on diet and exercise and down 22 lbs in 6 weeks. Next check in 5 weeks.Feel fine with no symptoms. Age 73, weight 202lbs, height 6 ft.
