My sister has liver disease. Is there a certain diet she should follow? Brennan J. Robertson's Response The liver serves an essential role in the way our bodies process, store, and eliminate the nutrients we get from our diet. It manufactures bile needed to absorb fat, builds glycogen as a store for glucose, stores iron, and eliminates medications, alcohol, and the by-product of protein metabolism, ammonia. If the liver becomes damaged, its ability to metabolize these nutrients is compromised and they will accumulate, often causing further damage.
