By Mayo Clinic staffNonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a term used to describe the accumulation of fat in the liver of people who drink little or no alcohol.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is common and, for most people, causes no signs and symptoms and no complications. But in some people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, the fat that accumulates can cause inflammation and scarring in the liver. This more serious form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is sometimes called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. At its most severe, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease can progress to liver failure.
-there goes my drinking alcohol ;) hahah.-
so now i guess i hafta watch what i eat..i dont understand bc i dont think im that "fat" haha but idk i dont really understand..thats just what the dr told mom. she said that if i dont make a change now that it could turn worse later..She also said that from having all these health issues may lessen my chance of getting pregnant-my biggest fear- but i guess we'll cross that boat when the time comes. It seems like when it rains it pours.haha its life i guess. she told me that i need to drink more water because my body is dehydrated and i need to have a more fiber intake..(thats why my biliruben was so high)so now i feel like an old person because she wants me to take benefiber.hah and my goal is 30 g's of fiber each day and to increase my water intake each day..she said i should pick up a scale at a fitness store that will show my water percentage and body fat percentage. im really bad at going throu with stuff like this (taking my meds and such..) but it kinda scares me what will happen if i dont. Lately it seems like if i eat more than once a day im lucky because i dont seem to have any time between running between school and work..and if i do its ususally not the greatest..like boxed foods and foods high in saturated fats..but i guess thats going to hafta come to an end.
anyways..all for now.cant wait to see Michael tomorrow..i miss him a lot!

You didn't tell us these results when you were here this week end. It is important that you follow the Dr.'s orders and take care of your health. We will have to make sure you eat right and eat more food!!! Take care and have a good week.
