I try to stay away from processed foods, sugar, beef and pork. I don't drink, I never cared for alcohol. I try to eat whole grains, fruits,vegetables,legumes,nuts, some salmon and chicken. I try to drink a lot of water. I feel better when I eat better.

I'm not on a special diet just chosing lean meats, fresh fruits and veggies( what the dietician said) Should avoid processed foods. On occasion I do have lunchmeat.

Oh wait! It's called the Mediterranean Diet!

My hepatologist recommended the Mediterranean diet, to avoid beef, processed foods, lunch meats, sugars etc. He also advised not to gain weight. I’m recently diagnosed and am trying to make healthier food choices.

Hi Amanda, no, my hepatologist did not tell me how not to gain weight, in fact my weight has been going up. Maybe with the extra supplements I’m taking (Dr, recommended) is causing my appetite to increase and the fact that after all the stress of testing, hospitizations in the last 1 1/2 years and doctor visits I find myself eating due to my emotions. I need to address this and get back to a healthier diet.

@A myPBCteam Member how do you not gain weight? Some medications do that!🤔 Did your doctor say how? I lost 5 pounds but that was from not eating as much and stress.
