Are they related?: It sounds like you were told that your thickened, enlarged liver was due to "fatty liver" or steatohepatitis. This is becoming a common liver disease and while often related to obesity and diabetes, it is not always. Your diet may be perfectly fine. But I'm not sure fatty liver is the cause of your chest and abdominal pain. Keep working with your doctors to clarify the situation. Good luck!
