Have Hepatitis C. Pain In The Liver After Drinking Coffee. Reason?

I have Hep C and 1 1/2 years ado I had a liver biopsy. The doctors told me I have a liver of 16 year old, and I am 40. I have had hep C for 25 years. Just yesterday right after I drank a cup of coffee, my liver began having sharp pains when I would breathe in or slump to the side. I have changed my diet recently (more meats/paleo diet) and am taking more supplements (advocare). For the last three years, I was only taking Vit B and Milk Thistle. I ate a normal, fairly healthy diet. What is this sharp pain? It only lasted for 1/2 hour.

Hi and welcome to hcm. tHANK YOU FOR YOUR QUERY.
It sounds to me more like gallblader issue and gallbladder attack caused by stones. Also gastritis can be cause of such pain too. So do ultrasounds first to rule out gallbladder and hepatic issue and if nothing is found you should do gastroscopy. Till that change dietary and lifestyle habbits. Do exercise, avoid alcohol,smoking, fats,fast food and carbonated drinks. Eat more fruit and vegetables, boiled meat and follow some of hepatoprotective diets.
Wish you good health.
