Morning. My suggestion would be to press for abdominal ultrasound/abdominal MRI to see if there are underlying explanation. If Omeprazole does not solve the GERD issue, it would be good to do further investigation.

Hi JimmyJackson

Are you under the care of a hepatologist or gastroenterologist? They would be best placed to discuss what medication would be appropriate for you to take as they have access to all your medical history and test results. Also, if your NAFLD symptoms are getting worse, it may be a good idea to discuss that with your doctors and see if you need to have any further medical investigations.

Best wishes

Sorry to read how difficult it is to see your consultant. I hope they are able to offer you some helpful guidance next week.
