Hello
Mild impairment of liver echotexture may indicate liver parenchymal disease.
You may need clinical correlation and investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,complete liver function test,renal function test,lipid profile,urine and stool RE/ME,viral markers.
For acidity you may take proton pump inhibitors like tablet pantoprazole 40 mg.
You may also need upper GI endoscopy after evaluation.
You may need proper evaluation for recurrent diarrhea.
Get well soon.
Take Care
