Guest guest Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 , I actually have a theory on what caused it. I am a fat-free coffee creamer addict. I can't get enough of it in my coffee (I've wondered if that contributed to my morg, and it might, but no one here piped up and said they too love coffee creamer, which leaves me with no indication of a correlation between coffee creamer and morg). Years ago my medical professional brother (not a doc) told me I needed to lighten up on that "plastic sugar," he called it (for the high corn syrup solids). A week before the high enzymes, I went to a surgeon for what I thought was a hernia under my left ribs. He said it could not be a hernia and he felt under my ribs. "I think you just have a little benign, fatty tumor." The insurance co. said go for it, so right in the office he made a small incision and said, "Yep, that's what it is." I had to stand up so it could fall forward where he could grab it with his tweezers. He got the one then pulled another out. Both were flexible and covered with a white shiny membrane. Once I put my creamer on top of my coffee and popped the cup in the microwave to heat up the coffee. I thought the creamer would dissolve right down into the coffee. It did not. It turned into one of those things just like what the doc pulled out of me. No more "hernia" or hernia pain :-) I am wondering if fatty liver disease comes from the body trying to monitor all the extra stuff that we put into our bodies. For all the time I have been drinking coffee with a ton of creamer (except for my 2-year no-sugar period after I got morg), even though I use the fat-free kind, I blow up and look and feel fatter afterward. I wonder how many of those little puffy white balls are sliding around inside me...and what role, if any, they may play in my long-standing battle with the morg...probably more than I have been willing to admit, but that is also why I have been exercising on my elliptical 5-7 hrs a week or as much as my back will permit in a given week... What do you think? Does anyone know anything else about this ? The little white balls he called "angio lipomas." The enzymes that are high are ALT and AST.

From what I read different things can cause this. I've had high liver enzymes and then they go down to normal. Even the cold can cause these symptoms. Is it excessively cold there now? I know I go at it pretty hard with supplements which do help, but they are hard on the liver too. I've had fatty liver in the past, so I know it is harder to metabolize anything with that. When I lost weight that fatty liver went away. I'm sure it is back again. Let us know what you find out Kajay and what the doctor recommends. Blue lip/high lever enyzmes Kajay,I'm glad you had the liver test done. Such as important organ. Did the MD provide any info as to why this could happen? About how to get the enzymes back in balance? Did you bring a list a supplements you take and possible chemicals you could be exposed to at home or work? Sending you healing thoughts,z3>> <p>The other day my lips were blue ... not fingernails, nothing but lips. Gone the next day but went to doc. He drew blood and today I learned that my liver enzymes are high. I know I have made choices and tradeoffs to outlive this disease but I still believe the disease is worse than the cure, not the other way around. Anyone with similar results or does anyone know anything about this? Causes, treatments? I do not drink, I do not have liver disorders in my family. Heart disease is what usually takes out my family members.<br>> Kajay<br><br><br></p>> <p>Sent from on Android</p>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
