Is Fatty Liver Related To Diarrhea? Diagnosed With Diffusive Fatty Liver. Colonoscopy Normal. Cause?

Is fatty liver relataed with diarhhoea? I have a fatty liver history and recently diagonised with diffusive fatty liver. Prior to that I was suffering from diarhoea which recurred twice which is why I went to the gastroenterologist . He conducted colonoscopy and stool test whose results were within normal. I used to drink occasionally once a week till my stomach problems started in May... Can anybody suggest whether liver disease can cause diarhoeea?..

liver disease should not cause diarrhea. Fatty liver in particular does not cause diarrhea. If your gallbladder was removed surgically, this can be a cause of diarrhea. There are so many other things that can cause diarrhea, including things in your diet that you can't digest well anymore (example: dairy products). Gluten intolerance. Parasites (diagnosed by stool samples). There is an entity called Microscopic colitis, which can only be diagnosed by biopsies of the colon - make sure your gastroenterologist took random biopsies of the colon. Some medications can cause diarrhea as a side effect. Drinking alcohol can also cause diarrhea.
