Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 I totally agree, before I found out I had HepC when I drank I started to react different, Severe abdominal pain and my tolerence level was like 0. One beer would have me dizzy drunk. Since I found out I had only one beer, same thing happened so forget it. I also have an aversion to fried foods but a huge craving for suger. For two months I have only wanted sugery foods or carbs, no meat really except for chicken.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 In the book Living With Hepatitis C, A Survivors Guide, they do say that *one* occasional drink will not hurt someone who has *no* liver damage, but it is better not to have anything. My hepatologist says the same thing, but says they generally recommend not drinking at all because a good number of Hep C patients have been substance abusers. Marilyn Drinking ??!!?? Naomi Judd and her doctors are about money... she was famous before, and she's more famous now... drinking is out of the question no matter what some quack says. When liver damage has occurred, the liver can no longer process the alcohol and intoxication levels occur quickly, as well. I cannot believe some of things you people are being told...

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 Bonnie, It seems to be a common ingredient for those with Hep C, well alot of us anyways, that sugar has its cravings... but, it is best to stick with fruit to get your sugar intake. Stay away from adding sugar to things, or eating pastries and cakes and so on. Sugar is well known for weight-gain and any excess weight at all, ads tremendous burdons to the liver. Meat as well, and chicken can have violent abdominal reactions and are very hard for the liver to process. Only recently have I been making a list of those foods which cause immediate tummy swelling or pain... it's important not to burden the liver. Princess www.studioreflections.com Re: Drinking ??!!??

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 Marilyn, Well, I question anyones ethics who claims that even one drink a day is okay when any type of liver disease is present. Just because someone writes it, or says it, doesn't mean it's the gospel... My Be In Charge program nurse told me I could eat red meat... I really had to laugh at the ignorance on that one.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 I think you may have misunderstood, I was talking about one *occasional* drink, i.e., a toast at New Year's for instance. It's funny, though. The only thing I ever drank was a good glass of wine with a good dinner. When I got my first diagnosis, I didn't do that anymore. The only thing I'm " hooked " on now besides steam-distilled water is Minute Maid Lemonade - must just be the acid that I crave! Marilyn Drinking ??!!??

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 Thank God I knew the answer before he told me it wouldnt hurt to have a few beers. Yep....I feel like he's a quack too. Naomi didnt pick her doctor......she had a team of close friends and family members research and locate the top doc in the field.......She got no special treatment other than major privacy concerning her treatment. The fact that she hasn't led a movement to help anyone else in her shoes makes me feel like she's lacking something in the christian department...... I dont know what her problem is or even care. I know where to find the team that treated her....and I'm in line!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 It's the animal fat that the liver has a hard time processing. I was told and have read that broiled fish is the closest to meat we should go. any animal product can contain pathogins that could be fatal to us with compensated livers.
