Hi, Actually high ALP level can be due either hepatic( liver) cause or any bony disease. To look for any hepatic cause , you require your liver function tests, Ultrasound of hepatobiliary system etc. To look for extrahepatic causes to might might require X Ray of bones & hormonal analysis. Meanwhile you can continue taking normal healthy diet.Hope it helps.
