Dear Friend.
Probiotics can help you a little with bloating problem.
Since you had alcoholic hepatitis , i would recommend ursodeoxycholic acid supplements. They in fact help in alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Don't consume alcohol any more.
Avoid spicy food.
Follow soft bland diet.
Discuss with your doctor regarding taking ursodeoxycholic acid and pantoprazole for around a month.
Good Luck.
