My blood work all came back negative, like I expected. The doc. suggested the biopsy first and then changing my diet based upon the results. I said, "How about I try changing my diet and seeing if things improve before we stick needles in my chest." She said that in addition to the veggie diet I need to loose 10 lbs in the next 6 months. Otherwise I have to do the biopsy.
David_42, when the body processes alcohol, it converts it back into sugar. The sugar is then processed into and stored as fat. My problem is that I'm storing fat in my liver. Which in turn can cause scaring and cirrhosis or cancer. Unless you have a disease, the two main causes of that are: eating too much fat, eating too much sugar, and drinking too much alcohol.
With me its eating too much fat, the main source of which was meat.
I'm going to include eggs, a little dairy, and a little fish in my vegetarian diet. Eggs and dairy to help supplement my protein. Fish for Omega-3.
