Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. You need to be clinically examined before being advised medicines. In order to help you, I need to ask you a few questions. Comments are included alongside.
* Are you an alcoholic? If so, that is the most likely cause of getting a fatty liver. Abstaining from alcohol is the key to reversing the condition. Medicines will not help.
* Are you a diabetic? If so, for how long? Are you on regular medicine? Diabetes can precipitate fatty depositions in liver. Regular medication to keep the blood sugar in control will help in improving the fatty liver as well.
* Constipation alternating with diarrhea is a typical of constipation. Increasing the dietary fiber intake is the solution that you need. You may take fiber supplements line senna or psyllium husk.
* The vomiting needs further evaluation. Antiemetics like meclizine, cyclizine, dimenhydrinate, or diphenhydramine should provide relief. If the condition persists you need to see a doctor. Taking ORS (oral rehydration solution) would help in replenishing the lost salts and fluid.
* Anxiety could precipitate gastritis leading to vomiting. ​Our gastrointestinal tract has a forward propulsive movement (peristalsis) that moves the food material forward as it is digested, absorbed and finally expelled as feces. If somehow this movement gets hampered, food along with the digestive juices would stagnate, stomach acid will reflux into the food pipe and on the other hand the bowel habits would not be proper. Degradation of undigested food in the intestines by the intestinal bacteria would lead to the excess gas formation.
​​​​In order to relieve yourself, you need to do the following:
- Avoid spicy food. Take small but frequent meals. Avoid long gaps between meals.
- Avoid alcohol intake (if it a part of your habit).
- Take Prilosec (omeprazole) once daily before breakfast.
- Regular morning walk and exercise to keep the bowel movements proper.
- If I had a patient like you I would perhaps have suggested Prodep 20 mg tablet once daily for at least 2 months (it may take time for the action to set in).
- Take curd or yogurt on daily basis. It contains beneficial bacteria and should help.

Hope that helps.

Let me know if I could help further.
