Hi Romy,
Do you have a fatty liver or inflammated liver? This is a sign of liver problems, have you been checked out by your doctor lately?
Juices that are 80% vegetable based, plenty of plant based foods and avoidance of processed sugar, refined flour based products and other processed foods is a great place to start.
Hi Claire I have a question. I had hepatitis and jaundice a few years ago which resulted in a diseased gall bladder. I have experienced terrible itching on both my arms and hands which gets worse after eating certain foods. What diet should I be following as I don’t have gall stones or pain just terrible itching. Would appreciate your comments. Thank you in advance.
