    Hi!  You certainly have had a rough time of it!  BCNA has a booklet that you may find beneficial in the mean time whilst you wait for your Dietician appointment.

    Hi @tisme
    I was wondering how you were going? 
    I really hope things settle for you and 2020 is a much better year for you :)

    Soy products in moderation are fine. They don't recommend the supplements though.  There is research on it and Cancer council does have a statement.

    Have a look at Michael Moseleys Fast800 whilst you wait for dietitian, It's changed my life.

    From what I’ve read,sugar is one of the worst things for a fatty liver.So you could cut down on that for starters. I hope this year will be a better one for you.

    Oh @tisme, what a rough trot. My Dad used to do the Liver Cleansing diet every so often. It really worked for his liver markers. I imagine if you google fatty liver diet some ideas might come up? 
    I was diagnosed in May too, and my Mum died in July. 
    Here's hoping 2020 will be a bit better for both of us! x

    Fast800 is primarily about simple carbs being cut...sugar being one of those, but excess fruit, white bread, white rice etc.
