I'm a bit concerned about my liver. I recently received an ultrasound report that says my liver is normal in size, about 14.0 cm, but there's a mild diffuse increase in echogenicity, indicating grade I fatty changes. Theres no focal mass lesion or IHBR dilatation seen. Should I be worried about these findings? What exactly does "mild diffuse increase in echogenicity" mean, and what are grade I fatty changes? Is there something specific I should be doing or monitoring because of this, or are these changes considered normal?

The liver is of normal size (14.0 cm) and demonstrates mild diffuse fatty changes, which are likely grade I in severity. There are no signs of any focal masses or bile duct dilatation. This suggests early-stage fatty liver changes without any significant abnormalities.

I've been having a lot of issues with my stomach being really bloated and hard, like it's filled with gas all the time. It's starting to feel like a rock, and it's making me really uncomfortable. Even when I eat normal foods, I end up with acidity. I talked to my general practitioner, and I've been taking Esoz D when the bloating and acidity hit, but I'm worried its not really solving the issue. Is there something else I can do to get this under control? Should I be looking at my diet or something else?
You may be experiencing symptoms of excessive gas and bloating, which can lead to acidity. In addition to taking esoz D, you can also try taking simethicone (Gas-X) to help relieve gas and bloating. For acidity, you can consider taking ranitidine (Zantac) to reduce stomach acid production. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions for each medication.
