I have gone on coq10 and fish oils and milk thistle . plus I have been juicing beets and carrots to help my liver. and walking 2 mils a day . can you please help ... thank you. Doctor: Hi, thanks for using healthcare magicNon alcoholic fatty liver disease is one of the most commonly seen liver diseases of this present age.It is related to lifestyle issues such as diet and activity.There is actually a correlation between the high use of carbohydrates and fatty liver. This relates to the storage of excess carbohydrates.The tricor would not induce fatty liver,it is actually used to treat fatty liver and associated  conditions in some persons.To prevent any further progression and to possibly improve the liver you may want to consider reducing the use of carbohydrates . This is actually the recommended dietary change.The exercise would also be helpful.I hope this helps
