Do you have both PBC and celiac disease?
It's great that you're actively learning about your conditions! While the search results don't specifically mention members with both PBC and celiac disease, it's not uncommon for people with PBC to have other autoimmune conditions alongside it, since PBC itself is an autoimmune disease.
Many myPBCteam members live with multiple autoimmune conditions and understand the challenges of managing more than one diagnosis. You're definitely not alone in navigating multiple health conditions.
Here are some tips from other members who've been newly diagnosed:
* Connect with your healthcare team and ask lots of questions
* Listen to your body and honor what it's telling you
* Find a specialist who truly listens to your concerns
* Join support communities to connect with others who understand
* Don't lose hope - many people live fulfilling lives with PBC
Since you're early in the disease, working closely with both your hepatologist and the doctor managing your celiac disease will be important. They can help coordinate your care and ensure your treatment plans work well together.
Keep learning and advocating for yourself - you're already on the right track!
