Fatty liver was found on a general medical, drs assumed that the cause was gallstones, how ever no change once gallbladder removed. A year later diagnosed with an underactive thyroid. Paid for further tests this year and it's hashis. Having read a lot yes I think the cause is hashis.

Yes, I do believe my fatty liver is due to hypothyroidism and Hashimotto. Found last year through ultrasound before having my gallbladder removed because of chronic inflammation, pain, nausea and vomiting.
