[|Human|] I have just been diagnosed with a fatty liver which is grade 3...I had my thyroid taken out around 10 years ago and I am told this could have started it? Is this true?I now know why I have steadily been gaining weight..? Can this be sorted out satisfactorily? I am starting a 21 day Ayurveda treatment course today and also thinking about taken milk thistle? Any suggestions I am pretty concerned?
[|AI|]  Hi welcome to Chat Doctor... Thyroid removal can lead hypothyroidism which can lead weight gain.... It can also lead secondary high cholesterol that can lead fatty liver ..... So investigate your case with. .....1. Serum cholesterol estimation 2. Serum TSH 3. Serum t4. If needed levothyroxine can be given .... Take low fat diet .... Regular exercise done .... Carrot, spinach, Indian gooseberry, avocados, dandelion etc. are some good food for liver ... Use less oil in cooking ...and use good oil like sunflower oil.... Take care.
