Hepatitis A\n\nFormerly called infectious hepatitis, hepatitis A is most common  in developing countries, but is being seen more frequently in people of all ages and in the developed world. Hepatitis A is thought to be spread by a virus from an infected person's feces directly or indirectly contaminating food, raw shellfish, drinking water, cooking utensils or someone else's fingers. The incubation period is two to six weeks after infection. Hepatitis A is considered an acute condition.\n\nHepatitis B\n\nFormerly called serum hepatitis, hepatitis B is the most serious form of hepatitis.\n\nHepatitis B is caused by the hepatitis B virus and is spread through sexual contact, blood transfusion or exposure to an infected person's blood via cuts, open sores, needle sharing, razor sharing or ear piercing tools. Additionally, hepatitis B can be spread from mother to child at birth. The incubation period is four to 25 weeks.\n\nTherefore in answer to your question, my medical textbook says Hep A can be contracted through contaminated food sources!\n\nHope this helps

I've had Hep B and nobody ever suggested there was a diet to follow, the only thing ever mentioned was NO Alcohol and that's because it strains the liver to process. I don't believe there is any particular diet for Hep B other than to eat a balanced healthy diet.   I have seen diets for Hepatitis C which presumably would be effective for Hep B as well....\n\nFoods To Use\n\nSteamed green vegetables \nFresh vegetable juices \nSquashes \nWhole grains \nLegumes, including tofu, tempeh, and soups with aduki and mung beans \nFish, organic chicken, and turkey \nPlenty of fresh water; add juice of half a lemon to a quart of distilled water \nFresh fruit in season, one to three pieces a day, depending on season and climate \n\nFoods To Avoid\n\nAlcoholic beverages of any kind \nHot foods such as chili peppers and onion; use only moderate amounts of garlic. Ginger is the preferred spice because it has a protective effect on the liver. \nPain-relieving drugs such as asprin and products containing acetaminophen. Many are toxic to the liver. \nMost pharmaceutical drugs, especially anti-inflammatories and antibiotics. Check the Physician's Desk Reference, available in a home edition and at most libraries, if you are uncertain about the potential toxicity to the liver \nFried greasy foods; they are often difficult for the liver to handle \nStimulants like coffee, black tea, or ephedra (ma huang) products; they increase body metabolism and act as a central nervous-system stimulants, increasing body heat \nRefined sugar products such as cakes, cookies, candy, and ice cream; or foods with white sugar, honey, and maple syrup. Refined sugar suppresses the immune system, stimulates metabolism, and increases heat in the body. Depend on fresh fruit in season for natural sweets.

I have a friend with this problem.  He has to avoid all cow's milk products, but can eat goats' cheese.  See a dietitian.  They may have recommendations for your individual case.

There are side effects possible with any vaccine, although rare. People with egg allergy will NOT have issues with Hep A or Hep B vaccine, only with influenza (flu) or MMR (measles, mumps, rubella)

Certain diseases would prevent you from being a donor, specifically if you'd ever had hepatitis.\n\nThe general rules for donating blood when one is taking insulin or other medication that may cause allergic reactions seem to apply. \n\nWith possible concerns of mad cow disease (bovine encephalopathies), there may also be some general rules about avoiding any contact with beef product of any kind. Since bovine insulin might have some slow virus contamination, this would be a conservative recommendation to avoid any possible cow products of any kind.

Hepatitis C is transmitted by blood.  Let's be honest, if you saw a toilet with blood all over it - would you sit down?  Probably not!  You would also need a cut or sore on your butt for the virus to get in.\n\nSame story goes for eating utensils - you wouldn't put a fork with blood on it in your mouth, right?\n\nDon't worry - Hep C is transmitted from sharing needles and other types of blood to blood exposure.

Maybe never because SOME individuals get the disease, develop antibodies to it, and their bodies take care of the infection without ever getting sick.  Hepatitis B is HIGHLY contageous and can actually be spread through kissing.  Fortunately, there are tests for hepatitis and there is actually a vaccine for Hepatitis B.  If you believe that you have been exposed to hepatitis, you can get a "Gamma Gobulin" shot from your physician.  I do not recommend waiting for symptoms because hepatitis can be a serious disease causing severe liver damage.

Here is more than you ever wanted to know about Hepatitis B. Hope this helps you. I urge you to visit the Hepatitis B Foundation Website. Click on the module for an interactive course on Hep B.\n\nHepatitis B is a serious liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Although most people exposed to the virus recover completely, chronic infections can lead to severe liver damage, cirrhosis (scarring of the liver), liver cancer and death.\n\n\nHow is hepatitis B transmitted?\nHepatitis B virus is spread by contact with body fluids of an infected person. These body fluids include blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and saliva. In about 30-40% of cases, the means of transmission is not known.\n\n\nWhat is the risk of hepatitis B?\nThere are approximately 80,000 new cases of hepatitis B infection each year in the United States. About 90-95% of adults recover from hepatitis B in a few months, clearing the virus from their systems and developing immunity. They will never get hepatitis B again: however, blood tests will always show that they were once infected, and blood centers will not accept donated blood from these individuals. Up to 10% of young adults who get the disease become carriers – as many as 1.25 million Americans are hepatitis B carriers. Carriers are people who have the virus in their blood and can infect others, even though they do not feel sick and have no obvious signs or symptoms of hepatitis B.\n\nPeople infected with hepatitis B who are unable to clear the infection from their bodies in six months are chronically infected with hepatitis B. The younger the person when infected, the greater the risk that the disease will become chronic. Chronic hepatitis B means that the virus is in the blood, infecting liver cells and possibly damaging them. Chronic hepatitis B can lead to cirrhosis, primary liver cancer, liver failure and/or death. An estimated 5,000 people die each year of chronic liver disease associated with HBV infection.\n\nPeople who are exposed to blood or body fluids of an infected person are at risk. You may also be at risk if you:\n\n\n\n\nAre exposed to bodily secretions, including on the job – as first aid or emergency workers, firefighters, funeral directors, police personnel, dentists, and dental assistants, and medical personnel\n\nLive in the same household with an infected person\n\n\nHave sex with a carrier of chronically infected person or have more than one sexual partner\n\n\nInject illicit drugs\n\n\nReceived a blood transfusion prior to 1975 (when a test to screen blood was developed) or if you have received multiple transfusions of blood or blood products\n\n\nHave hemophilia\n\n\nWork or are a patient in a health care or long-term care facility\n\n\nWork or are incarcerated in a prison\n\n\nAre bitten so that the skin is broken by someone whose saliva contains the virus\n\n\nTravel to countries with a high incidence of hepatitis B\n\n\nAre a hemodialysis patient\n\n\nHow is hepatitis B diagnosed?\nThe most common symptoms of hepatitis B occur within 25-180 days following exposure and include loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, fever, weakness or tiredness lasting weeks or even months, abdominal pain in the area of the liver (upper right quadrant), dark urine and light-colored stool, joint pain, and yellowing skin and eyes (jaundice).\n\nAn estimated 40% of people infected with hepatitis B have no recognizable signs or symptoms and do not know how or when they became infected. The only way the disease can be positively identified is through a blood test. Many people are surprised to learn when they donate blood that they have tested positive for hepatitis B. Hepatitis blood tests are not usually included in the routine blood tests of a physical examination.\n\nThe blood tests for hepatitis B may include anti-HBs (surface antibody test), HBsAg (surface antigen test), and anti-HBc (core antibody test). Although anti-HBs and anti-HBc may be found in the blood of individuals who
