Thank you for posting query at HCM.
History of Jaundice.
cause of Jaundice not mentioned.
Liver is very important organ and need to rest when it has been infected.
it would take 6 to 8weeks for the liver enzymes to return to normal.
if your suffering from HepB, it may take 3 to 6 months for the viral load to come down to a value where treatment is not required and observation is sufficient.
until liver enzymes turn normal, rest and less activity is adviced.
you may continue workout after your liver enzymes have returned to normal.
however, further advice is:
- abstinence from "Alcohol and drugs"
- LOW or fat free diet should be followed
- NO red meat
- vegetables should be ingested daily
- Moreover, less activity should be carried out (no sports).
- use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day
-recheck liver enzymes after 6 to 8 weeks.
wish you good health.
