How can you tell if you have hep c?

To learn if you have the hepatitis C virus, you take what is called an antibody test, or anti-HCV (anti-hepatitis C virus)test. It tells whether your body has made proteins called antibodies to fight the hepatitis C virus. Antibodies stay in your system after you've had any kind of virus, even the flu. Your doctor sends a small amount of your blood to a lab and the results come back in 1 to 2 weeks. If the antibody test is positive, it means that you have been infected with the virus. But your body may have already removed the virus on its own. Another test is needed to confirm that the actual virus is still in your body

You have auto immune hepatitis and Crohns disease can you drink alcohol?

NO. It would not be advisable. Any form of liver inflammation is called Hepatitis. This inflammation can be caused by drugs, viruses, fatty tissue, heredity or bacteria.

Prior alcohol abuse and binge drinking is another of the causes. Auto immune Hepatitis is very similar to Lupus Erythematosus and can severely damage the liver. Auto immune hepatitis results from the bodies own antibody defenses actively attacking the liver. Alcohol would work that already damaged liver unnecessarily.

Crohns disease works in much the same way, it is suspected. While a cause is yet unknown, what is known is that Crohns Disease is an inflammation of the digestive tract and can affect other organs. Consumption of alcohol often exacerbates symptoms in the already sensitive bowel by forcing that liver to produce excess bile and releasing it into the bowel. Like putting acid on a wound.

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the

liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which

reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus

became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from

ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www .ultimatelifeclinic .com) in March, 2020. Their

treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after

the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing

treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
