I have fatty liver but doctor said it’s not much and just changing my diet it will go back to normal but I have loose stool almost every day but I have noticed that I have a couple of days seeing the stool light yellow. Also pain in my right side of stomach but doctor said that is normal. Anybody know if that’s normal.

Could it be that bile isn't flowing properly? The stool is stained with stercobeline, which is formed from bilirubin released into the intestines with bile. I have the same problem. I have a kink in the neck of my gallbladder and it's not flowing properly. Ursodisoxycholic acid helps me; on the third day of taking it, my stool becomes darker.Iron deficiency may also be a factor. Bilirubin is formed from the hemoglobin of dead red blood cells, and if there's a lack of iron, the bilirubin will also contain a different amount.
Bile flow
Doesn’t feel like this answers OP question. Is that good, bad, indifferent? Should OP see doctor, lifestyle change, ignore?
If it were my sister asking she’d have scheduled with gastro specialist move one.
i’m pretty sure the pain on your right side is just the liver being inflamed (assuming with the fatty liver) and the yellow stool is from bile that is going through GI tract which usually relates to liver problems so i think it’s fine. if it persists for a long time i would get it checked again but if it’s just a short term thing i think you’re fine
NAD but have been through many scares that came with a lot of looking up these exact symptoms online ☺️ (if i said anything false, please someone correct me)
