I don't blame you... I was very worried when I first started to have health issues (and I didn't have ANY family history). The best thing to do is work WITH your doctor. Ask questions, ask for especific tests (you have the right to do it) and the most important: keep copy of ALL tests that he/she asks. If you don't understand them, ask him/her to explain to you. Don't let anxiety get the best of you...
You have very young so it might be that you just had the wrong diet going on and as you fixed the diet issue, everything will be fine. Try to be calm and stay informed so you are able to make good decisions WITH your doctor. Remember, doctors are human so they will miss sometimes... as long as you work with them, you have a better chance to be sucessfull in managing your health.
All the best!

Thank you Debbie, its the best thing ive heard so far. Im in good spirit now. I went to see my GI doctor this morning took more blood for Hep B&C. The reason i end up at the GIs office is had a severe constipation for the past 8 month and had a family history of colon cancer. And i barely exercise.  The results for the blood work should be out on Thursday.. I will post it up. I think im having hypochondria over this issue, i know its not good. Will keep you post, have a blessed day:)

ok... don't panic! I am not a doctor, just someone that was diagnosed with Autoimmune Hepatitis and few other autoimmune diseases. I don't want to discourage you but numbers only can't tell anything. You probably had complete blood work done, wich means Liver Panel, Complete Blood Count, etc... even if some number or numbers came back high, they itself can't tell if there is something bad going on, and believe, it took me sometime to realize that... they are an indicative that something is going on, but it can be for a short period of time and after few weeks or months, when you have new blood work, they can come back normal, wich means, whatever you had, your body faught and you are back to your normal. In order to understand you have to have a complete picture in front of you, which means, you have to have a copy of your results and have all the number together and knowing which numbers are high and which ones are not.
Talking especifically about hepatitis, there are viral hepatitis (A,B,C,D, and if not mistaken rare E)  and autoimmune hepatitis. The first type someone is exposed to the virus and the second case you own body starts to attack your liver.
As I said, based on your description, it doesn't look like you should be worried about Hepatitis but I am not a doctor and I don't have all you medical history in front of me. Keep talking to you GI, get copy of your blood work and keep track of your symptoms. If doesn't get better, ask for more tests, ask for another RX or Ultrassound to check your liver, if it still swolen. There are other possible causes for elevated liver enzimes such as fatty liver, etc. Make a list of questions when you go to see you GI or Family Physician, ask to be re-evaluated every few months (2-3) so they can get a picture of how well your body is respoding to the treatment or if the blood work came back to the normal range... the tip is keep yourself on the top of your health without panic... just being in charge of your own health. Keep us posted about your progress!
Best Wishes!
