How will I feel with non active hep c
Dear trevolution23,
The symptom of abdominal bloating is suggestive of gastritis, ulcer or reflux rather than hepatitis.
1. Excess acetaminophen can cause gastritis and may have caused the bloated sensation.
2. It can also be secondary to the colonic dysmotility which can be a side effect of Oxycodone. Usually such people will also have some constipation.
3. Apart from these Gall bladder dysmotility can also cause some post prandial abdominal discomfort and is worth investigating for.
Liver injury (hepatitis) secondary to paracetamol is usually seen in people with pre-existing liver disease or in alcoholics. It is usually clinically apparent with jaundice and elevated liver enzymes.
Hope that this information helps and hope that you will get better soon.
