Are there foods I have to avoid

Please Stef2011 and all I was diagonised of hepB in 2010, and at about july of that year a doctor recommended Liv.52 for me. I took it until January 2010 I stopped the Liv.52 for some time, consulted another doctor who asked for a series of test including abdominal scan and LFT. The only issue then was that I still tested positive to the surface antigen test for hepB. Again in september 2011, I did LFT test and discovered that my ALK phosphate was 16 points that is 108 for a range of 22-92 every other parameter was normal. What do I do now to ascertain my situation.
Again my wife is negative and has started taking the vaccine. Please talk to me.

no fibroscan is just a 5min check with a machine called fibroscan which is much more reliable than biopsy because it monitors liver damage as often as you like

Also what treatment should i proceed with as I live Nigeria?

check how to get hbsag quant by shipping blood samples to india and then check if tenofovir and peginterferon are available in ur country, i know from other members both are available while fibroscan and hbsag quant are not

Can also take blood tonic eg astemin?
