Ouch , I am sure by now that you have changed your diet to help with the ulcers . I am sorry to hear your in so much pain though . You should be on long acting pain meds if you can that way it cuts back on what you have to digest . Are you taking milk thistle ? I don't but I hear wonderful stuff about it .

Ok, but why did he only have one episode years ago? If he had varices, wouldn't the bleeding show up more often? Also, varices with hep c shows up when folks have progressed to cirrhosis - his liver tests did not show cirrhosis or any advanced liver disease. Just because one has hep c does not mean that one episode of vomiting years ago means he has varices, does it?

But with hep c patients it is usually esophageal varices . The other cause can be ruptured ulcers .
