You should consult a gastroenterologist or a hepatologist for liver issues. Along with their treatment, cut down completely on outside oily food, drink plenty of clean filtered water, and try walking daily to keep your liver healthy.
A hepatologist is a specific liver specialist, but a gastroenterologist also treats liver disorders. My doctor explained that they look at liver enzyme levels through an LFT blood test and might order a fibroscan to check for fatty liver or scarring before starting any treatment plan.
That's correct, a gastroenterologist or hepatologist is the expert you need to see. Make sure you get an ultrasound scan of your abdomen done as they usually ask for it first.
Please go see a hepatologist or gastro specialist immediately. I ignored mild abdominal discomfort and fatigue for months, thinking it was just gas, and ended up with severe fatty liver issues that took over a year of strict treatment to improve. Don't delay.
