I have been officially started on UDCA and now 5 days in a feel like a I have stomach upset and diarrhoea. It’s really unpleasant. Has this gone away for some of you? I am taking half a pill three times a day Ursofalk with a meal to adjust me to it. I feel miserable and I am worried that I will feel this
way for the rest of my life because I needs this medication to stay alive and prevent liver damage.
Over the last few months my labs have been rising and I am completely at loss to what disease I have. I will need a liver biopsy but have a hemangioma.
Anyone had a liver biopsy with that? Also I do not drink nor take any medication. GI is referring me to hepatology. I am 36f with high cholesterol for years though. MRCP normal apart from showing enlarged liver. PSC and PBC and AIH are in the room. I have no IBD as far as I know. I am frightened specifically because they have sharply risen since I have given birth within half a year. They were normal apart from cholesterol.
