Liver enzymes back to normal

(Rick P) #1

After 7 months on keto and a loss of 35 lbs., my liver enzymes went out of normal range. AST and ALT were up around 48 to 55 in August of 2025. By June of 2026, they had come down, one into normal and the other down, but still slightly elevated.

So I started taking NAC and choline daily and stopped alcohol. Now 6 weeks later, my liver enzymes are lower than they’ve ever been. Completely normal. I see the GI specialist Thursday. We’ll see what she says, but it sounds like I had a temporary keto enzyme spike which is now completely resolved.

:+1: That sounds really good.:slightly_smiling_face:

48 to 55 isn’t all that bad, either, from what I’ve seen - at or just slightly beyond the normal range.

It’s hard to know what are good and bad numbers. Mine are generally low (below 20, I believe), but I was doing things where it almost tripled. But my doctors said that was still not bad.

I stopped what I was doing (taking a lot of Inulin), and then my values went down again.
