Suggest Remedy For Hep C Infection

I was diagnosed with HepC recently....I had a blood transfusion in 1978. I am genotype 1b and I have recently completed 48 weeks of interferon/ribaviron therapy. I was virus free at weeks 12-24-36. I had the usual lousy side effects....although my doctor says I did better than most. I am going for my 1 month without meds bloodtest this Friday and I am very scared. I cannot stand the thought of going through this therapy again....even with a new drug. I am 57, female, not overweight, not a drinker or drug user. What do you think?

Hi,

You must do a HCV RNA Quantitative Test and then follow up with doctor. Also you can take liver supplements along with proper diet. Avoid smoking and drinking. You can take diet rich in omega 3 fatty acids. Also, you must keep your bowel movement regular, for that take food rich in fibre. Avoid taking milk and milk products. Instead of that, you can take yoghurt. And most importantly take 6 small meals in a day and avoid overeating. Also repeat the following tests - LFT-3, RFT-2, Vit D3, TSH.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
