Tips for Delaying Progression of FLD While Waiting for Treatment

Do you guys experience dry skin? I'm not currently taking a medication for FLD but I was able to lower down my AST and ALT. I have (non alcoholic) NASH...I had elastography that showed fibrosis of the liver... I know it's reversible. what can I do and take to delay the progression of FLD while waiting for proper treatment (im a healthcare traveler so treatment is not always easy as I have to be seen by a doctor where I'm physically located and I'm currently doing a contract) I'm currently taking OTC supplements like Liver Health, SaMe, milk of thistle, and multivitamins with 100% Vitamin E RDA per capsule. I don't want to take extra Vitamin E that might induce toxicity. I'm not pre-diabetic. I always have good A1C. I don't overeat..I even fast though not to a great degree...just intermittent. I do avoid pork and beef. If I meat, is just fish and chicken. I do cheat though. once a month and that's in one day in month, I eat pork or beef but in a limited amount. I eat avocados, and blueberries and drink coffee....all help with liver health. so what can I do in the meantime if I'm not seeing a specialist? TIA

It sounds like you manage pre-diabetes and FLD well. Are you talking mostly about dry skin? I find CeraVe very helpful and will use hydrocortisone if CeraVe doesn't work. Finding good quality body soap and showering in cooler water may also help.
