Suggest Remedy For Fatty Liver Disease In An Elderly Person
I was told I have fatty liver disease . I'm 61. I'm obese . I do not drink . Could lactose intolerance or wheat sensitivity cause yellow mucus stools. My husband has just been diagnosed with mesothelioma. I am under a lot of stress, and have been drinking coffee creamer. Having not have my gallbladder symptoms 17, I'm concerned about my pancreas and or liver. Husband has just been diagnosed with mesothelioma.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Fatty liver refers to the build up of fat in the liver. Fat can also build up in other organs as well.
Fatty liver can progress to cause liver damage. The yellow stool may be a reflection of diet or may indicate that there is an obstruction to the flow of bile.
You may need to consider blood tests to check liver function eg total bilirubin, ast, alt, alkaline phosphatase
Physical activity (at least 150 mins a week if possible) and diet changes would help the liver.
Diet changes would involve using a healthy diet made up of fruits, vegetables, smaller portions of carbohydrates, diet drinks rather than normal drinks.
I hope this helps
