View allI've recently been told I have grade 1 fatty liver, and I used to have irritable bowel syndrome. I've been on antibiotics for a liver infection for a few days. I'm experiencing pain in my liver area from the infection, but there's also a constant pain in my abdomen, especially when I press on it, and sometimes even without pressing. This has been going on for months. What could be causing this pain? I had an ultrasound, and it only showed the liver problem. I really want to understand what's going on so it can be treated. Can you help?
The persistent abdominal pain, despite antibiotics for liver infection, could be related to your pre-existing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), as fatty liver disease and IBS often co-exist; other possible causes may include inflammation, scarring, or adhesions from past liver or abdominal issues; consider consulting a gastroenterologist to investigate further and develop a comprehensive treatment plan addressing both your fatty liver and IBS symptoms.

I started taking Metrogyl 400 for a bad stomach yesterday, took it twice, and now I'm feeling better. Do I still need to keep taking it, or is it okay to stop? Will it cause any issues if I don't continue? I'm just wondering if its important to finish the whole course even if I'm feeling fine now.
-It's important to complete the full course of Metrogyl to ensure the infection is fully treated. Even if you're feeling better, stopping early can lead to a relapse or resistance. If you're unsure, it's best to consult your doctor for advice.

I've been struggling with bile reflux and the symptoms are really bothering me. Are there any surgical options like bile diversion surgery that could help? I'm not sure what to do about this and would appreciate some guidance on managing it
Bile reflux may benefit from bile diversion or Roux-en-Y surgery in severe cases; most patients improve with medication and lifestyle changes.
