Question: I had acute cirrhosis 7 years ago, am I still at risk for it reoccuring?
I went to the ER with a severe stomach ache on my right side under my rib cage, i was delirious and in much pain.. Well every once in a while it starts to feel sore but other than that I dont have any more problems.. The cause was diet pills and too much caffeine.. But i would like to know if My liver is still at risk and will I have to worry about it coming back?

The liver detoxifies everything you take like diet pills, which contain an enormous amount of caffeine. So that with the coffee adds to it and once you are diagnosed with cirrhosis, it doesn't go away. So yes, you will have recurring attacks. Stay off the diet pills. Eat a good meal that doesn't contain fats. I worry about that all the time because I'm on 15 medications a day and my liver has to detoxify every one. You can prevent attacks by staying off needless pills but cirrhosis never goes away. I'm sorry. Be well
