I'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've been dealing with jaundice for the past two months, and I just can't seem to shake it off. My s. bilirubin count is currently at 1.8, but it was 1.4 just last week, so it keeps fluctuating. I was also diagnosed with a fatty liver, grade 2, and I'm not sure what the best way forward is. I'm 22 years old, weighing in at 94kg, and I'm not a drinker. I've cut out dairy and oily foods for two months now, but nothing's changed. Is there still a chance for me to recover completely? What's the best thing for me to do?
your persistent jaundice, fluctuating bilirubin levels, and fatty liver diagnosis, and they may recommend lifestyle modifications, such as increasing physical activity to aid weight loss, adopting a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and limiting sugary drinks and processed foods, as well as medications like ursodeoxycholic acid or vitamin E to help manage fatty liver and jaundice

I've been noticing something strange with my stomach lately. It moves up and down kind of like a heartbeat but not the usual rhythm you get from breathing. After I eat, it feels like it's more intense, almost like some veins are gathering and feel heavy. This movement continues all day, usually at a normal pace. At first, I thought it was my actual heartbeat, but even when my pulse is 72 bpm, the movement doesn't stop. I looked it up online, and it mentioned something about an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Could that be what I'm experiencing?
A CT abdomen is advised ,follow up with the reports...
