Hep b vitamins or supplements?

Hi my husband has hep b, he was diagnosed about 5 years ago, not sure if this was from birth or not. I was wondering if there are any vitamins or supplements that can help support his liver.
My husband gets seriously ill roughly every 3 to 4 months, constant vomiting, sever cramps in stomach etc... Hep specialist says this has nothing to do with his condition and its most probably due to some other illness... I beg to differ as he's had lots of other test done and shows everything else us fine.
My theory is his liver isn't filtering the toxins from his body properly and thus is building up in his body to the point where his body vomits and vomits to try and expel it... Doctor says noo.
My husband is hbeag neg
Genotype C
Stage 3 fibrosis grade 9
He is on meds which brought his viral load down from ^5 to undetectable.
Any advice please..

Hey i just wanted to add to this well is now been a year since i last posted update on the husband . Well my hubby is still taking viread and dna still undetectable 3 years now.... The nausea and vomiting that i mentioned above is starting to get better.
I'm a student nurse working on a gastro ward and noticed all of our end stage liver patients were getting given lactalose to rid the toxins from their blood ( some patients had encephalopathy) others did not .  So i told my husband who then started to take it as he struggles to go to the toilet and low and behold the constant vomiting  and cramping that the hep dr said had nothing to do with his hepatitis b liver damage is starting to subside ..
So things are starting to look a lottle better  ... also strange how he had been so ill for years and now that hes on treatment and his dna has been supressed for 3 year he is nowhere near as bad ... how can the drs not see the link ... i think his liver damage is healing and his liver is functioning better now he is on meds ,
Anyway when should he get a fibrosis test done again ?
