Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You may be suffering from Gastritis due to alcohol. It may also be due to Infection, Irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel problems etcetera. Until examination is done, it is difficult to say what it is.

Avoid alcohol intake, eat a soft diet with green leafy vegetables. Get regular checkups done for hepatitis C infection. If symptoms not improved, then please consult your doctor so that he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
