A member asked:

I had hepatitis a about month and i do bodybuilding so can i take a protein powder and creatine again?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Liver: I generally tell people to stay away from creatine as it can cause liver enzymes to become elevated. Taking a Whey protein is fine as long as you drink plenty of water. With a hx of hepatitis you want to be on top of your LFT's and stay away from drugs and alcohol. Stay Healthy
