Common Questions and Answers about Alcohol calories liver
alcohol
i asked the same question, although I don't know what exactly my disease is, except my doctor told me my liver doesn't look good, and told me to avoid alcohol, sent me on check up for hepatities AB and C - which I don't have, came back negative. I don't drink, didn't ever, so she told me that meds could cause this, but I don't use them either, so anything I can think of are bad food and sweetners.

Basically, when you consume 120 calories of sugar a limited amount of those calories end up being metabolized in the liver. OTOH, when you consume alcohol, about 4 times the amount of those calories end up being metabolized by the liver.
He then proceeds to explain who HFCS ends up being metabolized almost exactly the same as alcohol.
This is very serious if you are healthy. If you have liver disease it is much more serious.
One of the main ways to treat fatty liver disease, regardless of type, is with diet. As the name suggests, fatty liver disease means you have too much fat in your liver. In a healthy body, the liver helps to remove toxins and produces bile, the digestive protein. Fatty liver disease damages the liver and prevents it from working as well as it should.
You see, when we take in poisonous drinks like coffee, tea, hot chocolate, alcohol (wine, beer, etc.) the liver gets occupied with the processing of the toxins in these drinks. The normal liver function is put on hold. Toxin elimination to keep the body alive becomes the number one priority of the liver. The normal digestion and healing functions of the liver have to take the backseat. Nicotine should also be avoided during this time of cleansing. The same goes for chocolate bars.
You surely should not drink any alcohol at all while taking pain medication, or any medication for that matter.
If you had less liver disease, as most persons of this forum, it would not be an issue. How much alcohol gets burned off when cooking is debatable (see below) but is it really worth the risk to damage your liver even further?
You should ask your hepatologist about this as you would if you should whenever you make a change that can affect your condition. In the end it is a decision only you can make.
alochol as a poison to get processed out. As long as our liver is processing alcohol, it will NOT dump the glucose we might need -- no matter how low we go. That's the big added risk to drinking.
Having said all that, and remembering well my college days, I'd encourage you to think about these approaches. Clearly, you're a very bright person (4.0 plus athletics is tough to achieve!), so I hope you'll consider these ideas carefully.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
Treatments and drugs
By Mayo Clinic staff
No standard treatment for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease exists. Instead, doctors typically work to treat the risk factors that contribute to your liver disease. For instance, if you're obese, your doctor will help you to lose weigh through diet, exercise and, in some cases, medications and surgery. If a medication is causing your fatty liver disease, your doctor will try to switch you to a different medication.

In response to your question several things come to mind. I believe that everyone with Type 1 diabetes needs to be totally aware of what is happening with their blood sugar all the time. Alcohol can inhibit this ability for one thing. Also, the symptoms of too much alcohol and hypoglycemia can be similar and you do not want anyone to confuse a low blood sugar for being drunk as they might not give you the proper treatment.
When your blood sugar level starts to drop, your liver steps in.
They specialize in diseases of the liver. Glad you will be seeing a doctor tomorrow but seriously consider finding a liver specialist. BTW, if you are eating more calories than you're burning, weight gain is inevitable. Also, hypothyroidism can cause rapid weight gain. Below are some symptoms associated with cirrhosis which can also cause weight gain but what I have listed may not apply to you at all. Only a qualified physcian can give you an acurate diagnosis.
Fatty infiltration of the liver can be caused several things. Alcohol consumption, diet, and weight are all factors that could contribute to fatty liver. As far as I know, it's not a disease in itself, but a sign that there is something else affecting the liver. I would ask the doctor for a liver biopsy to determine the exactly how much damage (if any), is present.
prichard16 - yes, the types of calories makes a difference. While I agree with caregiver222, that 1000 calories is 1000 calories; if you make that 1000 calories a mix of fruits, veggies, dairy, lean meats, nuts, etc --- you will be much healthier and more likely to lose weight than if you get that 1000 calories from 5 candy bars (200 calories/each) throughout the day........... there's a huge difference........
Wow, there are some major major misconceptions on this sight. First of all, fat does not cause fatty liver, carbs, sugar and alcohol do. Second, no one is fatigued on the HCG diet because you are getting as many calories as you need since you live off of your own body fat. But anyway, I am on peg interferon and ribavirin and it has not created a loss of appetite.
