symptoms of hep c

someone i know is vomting alot n feels sick n just aweful all the time,he has hep c(failed tx n now is on insulin injections cos his pancreas is stuffed.)
just wondering if any of u know if the vomiting is the hep c or coul;d it be his gall bladder cos they said there might be a blockage in the gallbladder ducts or wht ever u call them.or could it be the insulin?
i am worried sick about him as he is sooo ill n he is goin in to hospital soon to get it all checked out but in the mean time i thought maybe some1 else here might be able to know whats going on.
                                             cheers :)

I had the gall bladder issue 13 years ago. It makes you very sick, especially if you eat anything with fats in it.

Also, the pancreas makes all kinds of digestive enzymes when it is healthy, so if it isn't making all of them now... that could keep the food from being broken down like it should and really irritate the small intestine.

For your friend's sake, I hope it is the gall bladder since that is a pretty simple procedure these days... just 3 tiny incisions, and a couple days recovery time.

Good he is going to the doctor.
