As with anyother disease you need to just have your child eat healthy ,stay away from alot of red meat ,processed foods ,sugar things that are hard for the body to process .But until you get a diagnosis,It is hard to suggest what you should do.You need to find out if your child has Hep A,B,or C.Then go from there.Good luck to you ! Stay positive ,Stay healthy & you will get through this ! Take Care ! Cudagirl

hi lostinnd
and a warm welcome to the board.cuddagirl's response covers most of my reply.when you do find out what type of hep she has, maybe speak with a nutritionist regarding foods.hope this is of some help
keep the faith, bless you......mj

Thank you so much for your response to my question. The doctor feels is not possible that she has hep. because she has not yellowed? So he doesnt feel finding out what type is nessesary. He also ran tests for mono not even telling me he suspected her as having this? The test came back positive so now Im very lost. She still has high liver enzimes so where to go now?

Hi

I'm new here, but do have an answer about yellow. It is not a lot of people who have hepatitis who do yellow.

Will have to get back on the enzyme mono question as I really forget what I read on that.
