Burning stools: Tested for H pylori? A bacteria that causes ulcers, treated with antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). If H pylori negative consider PPIs alone for 6 weeks. Stomach issues are worsened by spicy foods, soda , caffeine, alcohol and smoking. Fatty liver improves with weight loss if overweight . Watch cholesterol/lipids. Check for IBS,colitis,ileitis,food intolerances, F/U with doc
