Dr., I have been diagnosed with stetohypetitis in January 2016 (F1-F2, A1-A2). Early sign was elevated liver enzymes. Part of the problem was traced to taking 40 mg of simvastatin for cholesterol, which was more than I needed because cholesterol well under control. (Dr. raised it to 40 mg solely because it was "recommended".) After I went back to 20 mg of statin, liver enzymes returned to normal. The doctor also put me on vitamin E, 400 mg. Last fibrosure test in January 2017 showed activity stage down to A0-A1. I praise the Lord for that. Two questions: Is there a chance that the progression of this liver problem can be reversed? Also, I was prescribed omeprazole 40 mg for acid reflux, but side effects literature says, "very bad pancreas, liver and white blood cell problems have happened in people taking this medication." Also, online website raises caution in using omeprazole for people with "liver disease". Will omeperzale make my liver condition worse (raise liver enzymes, fibrosure results, etc.)? Would substituting omeperzale with ranitidine be better? Please advise and many thanks. --XXXX

MD Dear Doctor,
Recently, 3 different nights, I have been awakened with discomfort in my rib cage, like a balloon being blown up inside me. I can't seem to burp or pass gas when this happens. Feels as if there is no room for my lungs to breathe and like my heart is beating slower. I took Gas-X and it goes away in about 20 minutes. I have a history of acid reflux which is under control with Prevacid. Could I have a problem with not enough good bacteria in my gut due to taking the proton pump inhibitors for several years or could this be something more serious? Thank you.
