What Causes Liver Burning And Pain With Diarrhea?

Had what I m pretty sure was the stomach flu over the weekend. It started Saturday night with vomiting and diarrhea. The last time I vomited was at 7am on Sunday. Its Monday and I still have the diarrhea (yellow in color). I have also noticed that every time I have a CT done with the contrast, I have yellow stool for a few days One time it lasted about two weeks. My liver is burning and hurting. I do not have my gall bladder. Why would my liver feel so bad. Its burning and just hurting. Feeling bad. no fever. get the sweats here and there. Worried, with no insurance for another month due to a job change.

Hello dear user!
Welcome to HCM!

If you have had CT scan with contrast it is expected to have yellow/orange stools. It happens because the chemicals that the contrast contains, change stool color. It will happen for a while of time until the contrast is out of the body.

The pain and uncomfortable feeling you are experiencing may be due to a higher sensitivity you have against the contrast chemicals. Liver function may have been alternated a little bit, and gastrointenstinal symptoms has showed up. You may have complains related to the vomiting, diarrhea, dyspepsia, heavy feeling in the stomach or right upper part of abdomen.

If you have removed the gallbladder these symptoms are likely to be present more often than generally, and you may have problems with the digestion.

I recommend you to have light meals and foods for a while of time, till the symptoms get away. Take a lot of drinks. To ease and improve the digestion you may use lactic ferments and ORS since you have had vomits and diarrhea.
If you have these concerns for a long time, and the situation doesn't get better please go to your Healthcare center.

I hope you will be fine soon.
Best regards!
