issie Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 I recall some saying they have a fatty liver and didn't think they were overweight.I uncovered one cause of fatty liver as cytokine related to leptin. Since we are connecting other things to cytokines and inflammation - wondered about this one. I know one thing that can lower leptin insensitivity is Irvingia - it's a type of mango, taken from the seed and can be gotten in pill form. It also makes a persons switch of being full to kick in and prevents over eating. It has been used to help in weight loss and can help to regulate blood sugars.Issie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbyw Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Very interesting, Issie! I hat a CT scan of my digestive tract when I had all my IBS symptoms and the lab that read it wrote "fatty liver" on the diagnosis. My gastro did not think it was fatty enough to note, and guessed over the phone that I was too thin. It was also read by a dr at the cleveland clinic who also did not mention the fatty liver, so I wasn't sure how to vote on this one. My gastro told me that it is commonly seen in people who are too thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mama_destiny Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Low liver enzymes here as well... I wondered if it had anything to do with POTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
