There must have been some sort of contamination through mishandling of the shellfish. I was eating all sorts of seafood before my transplant including raw shellfish and sushi, never had any issues, other than most of the classic symptoms associated with end stage liver disease.
I know shellfish is best avoided in haemochromatosis as it contains a certain kind of bacteria that thrives on iron. Also a damaged liver generally has more iron stores than a healthy one, maybe there's something in it? I don't know? Just an observation 🤔 X
My doctors told me that fish is off limits, period. In particular, they said to stay away from shellfish, oysters, crab, lobster, sushi, shrimp, etc., anything that lives at the bottom of the ocean due to bacteria. And I, too, have ESLD.
