Hi,
Thaks for the query. Hepatitis C is an infectious disease of the liver due to Hepatitis C virus . This disease needs treatment with Anti Viral drugs which are commonly used in combinations. Most of these drugs are safe but a bit expensive. If you dont get treated, it may lead to Chronic irreversible liver disease. Medication is the answer to this problem. Liver transplant may not be ideal since the virus present in the blood may reinfect and continue the problem.
Alcohol needs to be avoided. Antacids will decrease bloating .
Best of luck.
