Enlarged fatty liver and persistent diarrhea with bloating but no pain

Have been suffering from diarrhea for four weeks. Watery stools, frequently explosive, bloating and gurgling in my gut. Am afraid to eat because I have diarrhea soon after. Had Ultrasound two weeks ago to rule out appendicitis because I had lots of lower right quadrant pain. They also did a CT scan.they ruled out appendicits, diverticulitis, colitis, Chrohn's disiease, ovarian cycts. but they did note that my liver was enlarged and had fatty deposits.  am wondering if there is a correlation to my diarrhea and the fatty liver.  
I am overweight, but I don't smoke or drink, I work out 3 - 4 times a week for 30 minutes to an hour, I eat a low fat, high vegetable diet with animal and plant protiens, and I am frankly at my wits end.  I have tried homeopathic remedies, probiotics, over the counter diarrhea medication.
I have booked appointments with a Naturopath and a follow up with my family doctor to talk about my stool tests, but I am looking for someone who has gone through this as well.  Most posts here have severe abdominal pain, I don't have any pain, I just feel pregnant from the bloating.

Thanks man007586, I have no significant reults from the original blood tests, so the doc had me do more, specifically to test the enzyme/ liver function. Thanks for the suggestion. The Naturopoath says that we can look at the liver function issue, though she was not sure that it is connected to diarhea.
Naturopath is stymied about the diahrea, she gave me podophyllum 200c dose as well as HMF replete (a probiotic designed for diahrea).  the only thing that has changed in a week is that the explosions are less frequent.  she was surprised that after 2 days that I did not notice a significant change.

How about your blood test results? do all the liver function test enzymes.
