Hi everyone Just wonder if anyone has similar experience. I have had a phone appiontment with my liver specialist and I feel like I am in the film Groundhog day. When I was 13 I had extreme itching with no rash and went yellow. I was diagnosed with hepatitis A and jaundice. 1 have 4 grown up children

Cod liver oil
I want to take cod liver oil to help my arthritis but am worried it might affect my acid reflux. Has anyone taken it and had any positive or negative effects on their acid reflux?

LIVER PAIN?
I'm getting weird dull aches under my ribs on the right side. I read that liver doesnt have nerves so you cant get pain from it. Is that true? Could the ache be my inflamed liver pushing against my ribs or damage like fibrosis from inside my liver. I'm sorry to bother you with it but you all seem to

Normal scans, mostly normal blood tests. Can you still have HE?
I have had abnormal LFTs for 2.5 years (that I know of - no tests before). Normal ultrasounds x4, normal HIDA, normal CT scan, normal fibroscans x2 showing F0 and approx 240 CAP. An MRCP showed sludge when I was pregnant. I went and got my gallbladder out which showed chronic cholestasis but nothing
