This forum is specifically about hepatitis which can cause cirrhosis but I'll try to help.( You could also try the GI forum) I have cirrhosis from hepC. I too had ascites, fluid build up which too diuretics to stop. I stopped drinking alcohol. I try not to eat salt or anything with salt. I just finished treatment for HepC. I take some supplements specifically to assist the liver. The two main ones I'd suggest are milk thistle and SAM-E Your liver can regenerate itself but you do need to make lifestyle changes which includes your diet. There is more information on the following web site; janis7hepc.com click on cirrhosis. Good luck
Thanks, that's a start. Now I need to know what to expect. When I had the full blown cirrhosis I had a new surprise almost every day, rash, hair loss etc. Any of this to be expected again?
You can live for decades with cirrhosis. Just don't drink and make the problem worse.
