Toronto Dinner Meeting
with Dr. Hirschfield & Dr. Houri
Dr Gideon Hirschfield at #ILC2022 stresses that doctors treating PBC patients should take time to discuss symptoms - particularly itch - as there are many treatment options available and itch can have a significant negative impact on quality of life. Have a listen.
Try to limit your sugar intake, because excess sugar can cause your liver to store that excess as fat which can then cause further liver damage.
Try following a healthy plate model. If you are struggling with weight (gain or loss) this is definitely something to discuss with your doctor.
With PBC comes a risk of Osteoporosis. Take care of your bones. Make sure you have enough calcium & vitamin D.
Fiber plays an important role in maintaining healthy cholesterol, good bowel health, controlling blood sugar and maintaining a healthy body weight.
If you have PBC, you may benefit from eating foods high in healthy fats like fatty fish and olive oil.
