IBS likely
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Loose stools for more than a year with normal work up, excessive bloating and belching, with mild fecal incontinence, with history of chronic hepatitis C and B simultaneously are all connected. Liver get cirrhosed with passage of time and with hep c of 30 years its functions decline and bile is synthesized in liver and its production is decreased and leads to inability to digest the fats in food leading to loose stools.
These symptoms are classic for Irritable bowel syndrome and needs supportive care with diet and lifestyle modifications. Eat small frequent meals, avoid dairy products, fatty foods, spices, coffee, alcohol, beverages, processed and canned foods etc. prefer fiber , peppermint, yogurt and fluids. Supportive care is all one can do in such cases.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back to me
None of the above mentioned symptoms are worrisome enough to call a doctor before 8th of april. For diarrhea supportive care mentioned above would suffice. Its good that liver is not cirrhosed. Gallbladder sludge does not give diarrhea, it presents as pain in upper abdomen.
Your symptoms are suggestive of irritable bowel syndrome and gallbladder functions may reduce with that. If the pain is severe , or the color of skin gets yellowish or symptoms worsen, then you may call your doctor earlier.
I hope it helps.
