My Doc told me just last week that Hep can cause a form of something that feels like arthritis but if treatment is successful it may well go away also. I have Hep C and I dont know if it would make a difference.

I hope this helps

Hi ginny,

This may be late but just trying it. I also have been diagnosed with hep b during blood donation routine. I am not sure from where I got it even either had any symptoms. But I had suffered for long time GERD, arthritis. swollen legs, at one time chronic diarrhea and now sever chronic constipation that was taking me to a brink of depression. Having used all kind of laxatives (fibers, osmotic and irritatives) I was back in square one until somebody suggested me to take for the constipation barley as fiber. The barley triggered on me sever blotting and constipation I started looking in other direction. I started to avoid all GLUTEN containing foods and following a gluten-free diets recommended for people with Celiac disease. I feel very good now and I have not still gone to my physician to verify my finding but I have to say it has been a good revelation.a week ago i could not concentrate ,not sleep and anxiety was  collapsing me and now I see my self like in my best times. Hope this helps you.
