Can fatty liver cause reflux?

A lot of acid reflux and heartburn lately has been quite bothersome. Also, there's my fatty liver diagnosis. Can the fatty liver condition itself be the reason for my frequent reflux symptoms?

In my experience with PCOS, digestion gets really sluggish and I often get bad acid reflux. My doctor mentioned that a fatty liver can slow down digestion, which might contribute to that burning feeling. It is best to get a doctor's advice on this.

Yes, when our inner system is not in balance, reflux and acidity can happen. Keep your mind calm, avoid heavy dinner, and drink some coconut water. God bless you with good health, please do see a doctor if it persists.

Haan, pet me bhari pan hone se acidity aur jalan banti hai. Aap thoda sa saunf ka pani pijiye khane ke baad, isse bahut aaram milta hai. Par agar jalan bahut zyada ho toh doctor ko zaroor dikhayein.

Yes, severe fatty liver causes bad digestion and extreme acid reflux. I ignored it as normal acidity until it caused severe esophagus irritation. Please consult a doctor and don't just keep taking over-the-counter antacids.

Actually yaar, my acidity went crazy when I had fatty liver. I thought it was just Mumbai's spicy street food, but it was my liver struggling. Eating dinner early by 8 PM helped me a lot.

My doctor at AMRI hospital explained that liver swelling can put pressure on the stomach, causing bile and acid to push upwards. I suggest booking an appointment with a specialist to get proper treatment instead of guessing.
