There's a liver function test that could show gall bladder problems.
If you have aching in your liver area when you eat fried foods, try stopping all fried foods. A great liver supplement is Milk Thistle and a brand that I have used is called Thistlin--it contains a high amount of the milk thistle extract. If you take milk thistle for a few months and stop the fatty foods, your liver will probably heal. If it IS your liver, you should also stop alcohol and eat more green vegetables and healthy fats. Some healthy fats are olive oil and avocado.
If it IS your liver, as your doctor said, it can regenerate and heal itself. It could be that your problem is not the meat itself but the fat in the meat, especially if it is fried. Once your liver is healed you should still mostly avoid fried foods and excessive alcohol because these put a strain on the liver.
Well instead of assumptions, did he do a test to check your liver?
Just for safety you should have full blood work done and you probably have a fatty liver which can cause liver problems/failure if really bad.
You are going to have to change your diet and start eating more natural.
I know it's hard sometimes these fast food items can be addictive but that is what you need to do and in time things will get better.
Thanks, I was hoping I could heal it myself. What you said confirms what I was hoping too.
I don't drink alcohol and I started taking Milk Thistle again.
But even taking the milk thistle while still eating the meat (fat) it still hurts.
Wow I got all this cooking to do and I can't eat anything but green beans and corn and potatoes.
No oyster dressing, no turkey. I don't eat pork anyway.
We're in the middle of selling our house
getting rid of everything and moving out west,
and this big good bye Thanksgiving celebration with family and friends.
My Doctor up and retired with no warning
taking all my records of years of lab tests with much blood work done over the summer!
He misdiagnosed me as having a virus when it was my thyroid.
Since I been taking the Thyroid supplements I felt myself again.
But I didn't know what this stomach problem was that would come and go. Now it stays if I eat meat.
It hurts my side and back. I though it was Fibromyalgia again.
Well, maybe now I can finally eat for my own convictions and my family will have to cook their own meat!
I've always believed I should be eating differently and wanted too!
But all men in my family, who are hunters too.

- I wish it was just fried foods.
I don't eat much fried foods.
Ate pot roast yesterday and started hurting after two days of not hurting eating no meat.

Your doctor must make your records available to you even though he retired. See if he had a web site. The location of the records may be described there. If he had partners, they probably have them.
Please see a new doctor and get a diagnosis. The most common thing that would cause the pain you are having is gallstones. An ultrasound of the gall bladder and sometimes a scan that tells whether the gall bladder is emptying properly can determine whether that is your problem. A stone that drops into the duct between the liver and the small intestine can make you really miserable. If your planned move is long distance, you might want to get it checked out before you leave rather than later.
Suzy is right, more likely gall bladder than liver
Liver disease is almost never painful unless the capsule is stretched and that happens rarely and you would likely have had many other symptoms including jaundice before that happened.
Gall bladder disease which IS painful is also much more likely to be diet related, liver disease....not so much
- Rats, that may explains it then
because my test results last summer showed that I have 7 Gallstones.
When I eat meat I'm in pain and feel like I want to throw up.
No meat today and no pain.
I've been trying to locate my metical records even asking the hospital or if another Doctor can retrieve them.
And they say they can't. Silliest things I ever heard of.
I know a gal who had the same Doctor and she is having the same problem.
The office recording just says he's retired and no info.
The sign on the door says the same thing.
A lab next door said they knew the number of his nurse and would have her call me. And of course she did not.
