Hello:

About a year ago, I was diagnosed with Autoimmune Hepatitis. My AST/ALT levels were 2200 and 850 respectively. They put me on about 100MG daily of prednisone and did a subsequent biopsy. They found bridging fibrosis (stage 2) throughout my liver. I am right now on 5MG prednisone and 100MG imuran daily. Recently, I have noticed my belching getting quite a bit worse - it really is getting pretty bad and that I occasionally get stomach pains. I went into my doctor to check my LFTs again, and they all came back normal. Also, I have lower back pain. I have trouble eating and drinking enough, otherwise I get way too full. I told all this to my doctor and she didn't seem too concerned. Any thoughts you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you.

PS I realize that if it were cancer, it might more possible be liver cancer, but the back pain I've had makes me wonder

I replied to this on the liver cancer forum:

It is not a problem for you to post here as well. My message applies to both.
