When stomach is at its worst the pressure of water in the shower feels sensitive? Would a liver issue be this near the surface?
I don't think so. The pain usually associated with liver disease is more of a dull ache or some might describe it as a discomfort located in the upper right quadrant (URQ). When the liver is inflamed it swells. The liver itself has no nerves and so it feels no pain. But, when the liver swells it distends the capsule or sheathe that contains the liver. That capsule is called the Glisson's Capsule and it does have nerves. So when it is distended from the swollen liver the patient feels an ache or a discomfort. I have not read nor heard from anyone that the pain is sharp or a surface pain. I had severe liver disease which necessitated a liver transplant and I never had a surface pain. I had only a dull ache.
I agree with wq2 - see a gastroenterologist regardless of whether you have a liver disease. Your problem is likely some type of digestive disorder (bloating and yellow stools) and that is a gastroenterologist's territory.
Good luck,

Forgot to say that I have not seen Gastroenterologist as my doc thinks that i have IBS! He also prescribed anti depressant pills as he thought the cause is anxiety! This is completely rediculas, I am not depressed or anxious! All is well in my life! I have not taken these pills.

Hi. Have had general U.sound checking liver, kidneys, pancreas, and gall bladder. Main reason was that gall bladder was main suspect at xmas time. Not sure about Doppler, think this is to do with blood pressure? This is ok.
I should add that I am reasonably fit and well although could do a bit more excercise. That being said am active outside of work hours, in and around garden etc.

Should I being looking answers on the digestion pages?

Also, are you being attended by a Gastroenterologist?
Did you have a imaging exam of your liver done, live a doppler ultrasound scan?
