What does your hepatologist think? See if he/she has other patients with this & maybe they can advise you?

Have you ever tried an elimination diet to see if any foods are causing the problem?

Finding an underlying diagnosis for lots of conditions can be so long and frustrating experience. Many times it happens with rare conditions, their diagnosis may take longer duration of time. In such conditions, it is required to keep seeing your doctor on regular basis because they can only keep track on your health changes and that may be gives some clues to your diagnosis.
