Bloating: More to it then but not related so much to the hep c if you eliminated lactose and stopped gas producing foods like beans broccoli and cauliflower and tried gasx and beano then . . . Possible chronic gastritis or infections etc recommend evaluation with a GI md.

Few suggestions...: There is probably no relationship between your chronic hepatitis and abdominal bloating. Bloating is a non-specific symptom that could be caused by many things. Probiotics and low-fodmaps diet (www.Ibsfree.Net) are two suggestions to try. Because of the duration of the symptoms i suggest you see a gastroenterologist for an evaluation.
