Pain In Abdomen, Weight Loss. Diagnosed With Fatty Liver Disease, EGD Showed Gastric Ulcers. Any Connections?

I have Recently been diagnosed with fatty liver disease (about a month ago). I do not drink nor take any medication. All my LFTs are normal so I was referred to GI doctor because the pain has not subsided and I have lost about 15 pounds in a month. I had an EGD done today at which point it was discovered I have gastric ulcers. I am wondering what link, if any the two have to ech other. Can one cause the other?

No it may not be related, cut down fatty food and oily food from your diet, if LFT is normal then no need to take medications, start morning walk to reduce fat and burn calories. for ulcers, if ulcers are proved to be benign and if H-PYLORI infection ruled out then take proton pump inhibitors for 6 weeks. u may get one endoscopy repeated after finishing the course.
