Hello,
Alcoholic fatty liver disease or pancreatitis or metabolic syndrome may cause this problem. Please get ultrasound abdomen and serum amylase levels. Also liver function tests, GGT level are useful. Weight reduction, regular exercise, eating green leafy vegetables may useful. If symptoms not improved, please consult your physician/gastroentrologist he will examine and treat you accordingly
Hope I have answered your query.
