Does drinking coffee in the morning after taking ursodiol impact the medication's absorption?
There's no evidence that coffee interferes with ursodiol absorption. Many myPBCteam members drink coffee regularly without issues, and some even report that coffee may be beneficial for liver health.
However, a few things to keep in mind:
* Coffee's acidity can cause stomach upset, especially when taking medications on an empty stomach
* Some members find that having food (like a banana) with their medication helps prevent digestive issues
* Coffee may worsen certain PBC symptoms like itching in some people
* Avoid adding high-fat creamers or lots of sugar, as these can stress your liver
Most members enjoy their coffee without problems. One shared: "I was told coffee is good for your liver, so I drink two cups a day and appear to have no adverse effects."
If you notice stomach discomfort or increased itching after coffee, try having it with food or switching to a less acidic option. Listen to your body and discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.
