Hypertension, diabetes and NASH. Why liver discomfort and gastrointestinal symptoms?
I have had NASH for over 10 years. I also have diabetes and hypertension . I had an initial episode of gout in my right 4th toe this week. It is resolving, but now I am having discomfort over the liver and gastrointestinal symptoms such as cramping and loose bile-colored stools. Could you explain if there is a connection between these events and what I should do?

1) Drug induced due to analgesic ? or gout drug like Colchicine if you have taken.
2) Any infection of some kind in GIT
3) As complication of Diabetes or their drugs.
4) Any developing Jaundice ?
You can do a stool routine examination if possible reduce the dose of analgesic or anti gout drugs but every step should be taken in consultation with your Physician
