I am a plain speaker and I speak so to help you. Not to offend you.

I only told you what most medical articles tell you.. but elaborated a bit on it… Be Prepared for your doctor appointment. Write your symptoms down. .. what triggers them, makes them worse, makes them better. Write questions for your doctor. Those are the things that will help with your diagnosis. I tell everyone this… because it is extremely important. Be active in your health… make time to be healthy.

Many people here share some of your symptoms. I have had some of them, but None had anything to do with my liver.

I still do not know what test you've had that have lead you to believe it is your liver that is the problem nor which liver problem you think you have. Have you had blood test? CT scan? other tests of the liver or other parts of your body? With what results? Do you have jaundice? Do you have fatty liver?

I shared with you my experiences of being a caretaker. That it can take a toll on the body. You will forget things from being exhausted. .. so writing your symptoms down… which you have written very little of what they are here. So makes it hard to share similar symptoms when you don't know what all of yours are.

My grandma wondered most of her life why her “belly” (as she called it) was so big… she said she looked like she was pregnant. She was born in 1888 and died in 1972 of a bowel blockage. I too have had the big belly, but have lost it with all the abdominal surgeries I had and the change of eating habits.

The digestive system involves the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, esophagus, stomach and intestinal track. So you see it can be any of these. Female organs can also play a part in abdominal distention. The more you share the more people her can share.

Have you tried searching this site by using the spy glass 🔍 at the top of the page to search for other conversations that might help you?

I think I have shared all I can share from what little you have given us.

Best of Luck!
