An MRI is a sensible way forward as a first step to see what is going on in your liver. It should pick up many things. The biopsy will, in particular, determine whether there is any fibrosis in your liver. I hope they both go well for you.

Thanks everything not looking good as even my doctor reckons mri will be clear but something still causing my liver functions to be abnormal this has been over a year now

if the MRI does not pick anything up then that will be great. You may find that the liver biopsy will be more informative.

I have Bile Acid Malabsorption and take 6 tablets daily Colesevelam. However, I always tend to diarrhoea and also need to take OTC Loperamide most days. I never experience constipation. You seem to have a lot going on with various health issues on top of the BAM, so I feel for you and hope you get some answers and relief soon.
