Glad to see you back, sorry to hear of your problems.  I'm also sorry to hear that you've not gotten support from your research clinic.  I still get a phone call every two weeks to check on me and am so grateful to have that support.  Good luck on your 3mo PCR - it's an important one.

That's so funny.  Husband feeling very acidic, just made him drink some apple cider vinegar tea with honey.  Helped immediately

Varices is when your liver's portal valve backs up n creates bleeding in stomach area. Hector read ur post more thoroughly than I did. And the vinegar works! Karen :)

I have acid reflux also and you might laugh at this old remedy but when you feel it coming on take you a teaspoonfull of cider vinegar-it will neutralize your acid in your stomach.It has worked for me for years.
  Glad youve come back-been worried bout ya!
Also you might want to start drinking metamucil or a fiber suppement now that your off tx.It will keep things running smoothly ;)   cindy

Colitis and gastroenteritis have nothing to due with hepatitis so there is no point worrying about something that has nothing to do your current issue.
Colitis has a number of causes. Depending on the cause different treatments are available.Gastroenteritis is an infection from certain viruses or less often by bacteria. Most commonly from poorly prepared foods or contaminated water.

Go see a gastroenterologist they can help you with your problem.

Good luck.

what is that?

Do you have esphogral varicose? I'd want that looked at by a GI. I'm at week 27 n only have RIBA nausea... And that is not severe if I eat. Stay on top of this kiddo. So sry..
