Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanjs for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query
I am a Gastroenterologist and would be answering your query.

As per your query it would take almost 3 months to bring back the liver enzymes to normal.
However you have not mentioned the cause of liver enzymes.
A minimum of 3 times of ALT and AST more then normal is required to be clinically sinificant.
However as you have not mentioned the cause i would take your case as moderate rise in liver enzymes idiopathically(cause unknown).


Start taking Simarin(Milk of thistle) once daily along with Liv 52 DS.Its a potent liver rejenuvator and help to rejunuvate the liver

Some food plans are-
-Whole grains are very beneficial to consume.These can be in the form of XXXXXXX whole wheat bread or cereal, brown rice, whole grain pasta,grains such as whole oats, wild rice, rye, oatmeal and corn are also beneficial and can be taken if suits your fooding pattern.
-Fruits and vegetables should be a significant part of any diet to help in recovering from a liver disease. They are full of essential nutrients and are easy to digest.When on recovery diet follow a high carbohydrate diet,Fat contents of diet should be very low.However Olive oil, canola oil and flaxseed oil are all healthy fats that are recommended as part of a diet for patients.
-Healthy proteins in the form of low-fat milk and dairy products along with lean meats, beans, eggs and soy products can also be a part of a healthy liver diet.

Now lets move on to
Foods to Avoid
-Processed food items
-Hydrogenated oils
-Avoid alcohol and smoking.


Thanks!
