my alt/asts lower from diet

i just got my basic liver fucntion test back..last year in may alts were 107...asts were 70..today alt's 86 ast's 56 thats almost normal!! and the nurse said the other stuff looked real good too..i've been really good about my diet although i keep working on that..now i see wheat is bad and been eating autumn wheat kashi cereal every morning and for treats... think i'll do another blood test in about 4 months to see if things get better..i've been really thinking about if i was in a position to treat would i...after reading frank j perrotta's post on the other side i think i would hang in there even though this virus is holding up things in my life as well as keeping me preoccuped with bs....although i can't honestly say for sure what i would do if treating wasn't a financial hassel...i was talking with my x last night about it..she was svr 5 or 6 years ago..had the same geno 1a and after tx has had very few problems..i wonder if my fatigue is just as much if not more from depression and anxiety i might have right now ....anyway..i was real happy with the news today and it shows no drinks and a good diet can help......billy

it was gaufs post about wheat on the community forum on mar.19th..forsee seems to have a good handle on the diet thing.....believe it or not i still have like 10 boxes of autumn wheat left..i buy as many as 15 boxes at once at walmart cause it's only 3 bucks..sometimes less..i eat the stuff for treats all day...so i guess i'll finish them and that will be that...what a drag...but like the site says ..if you have hep try stopping the wheat for a few weeks and see how you feel...celiac disease they call it...heres the site...http://curezone.com/art/read.asp?ID=132&db=7&C0=154

Well it is obvious that your liver is being damaged somewhat - have you had the biopsy to see where you stand and if you do have time to wait?  That would be my only advice...be sure before you wait.  I didn't know I had this disease and by the time I found out I was already stage 3.  I was pretty surprised I'll tell you that!

sounds like youve got the right idea, hang in there until the new drugs
get here or you are in a better spot in life. i assume your liver damage is low and i wouldnt sweat the alt ast
thing too much so long as your lifestyle is healthy.  just keep an eye on liver damage and save up some money.
if your fatigue is mental, then you can defeat it with exercise. get serious on this
and you can probably make it go away.  the anxiety will subside with time.
