Yes, this is a common issue. PBC damages bile ducts, which means less bile reaches your intestines where it's needed to break down fat. When your body can't digest fat properly, it can cause:
- Diarrhea
- Stomach cramps and pain
- Bloating and gas
- Nausea
Many myPBCteam members report similar digestive problems after eating fatty foods. The undigested fat moving through your system is likely what's causing your abdominal discomfort.
You might need to reduce your fat intake even more than you already have. Consider keeping a food diary to track which foods trigger your symptoms. A registered dietitian can help you create a low-fat meal plan that still provides adequate nutrition.
Also talk to your doctor about checking for fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies (A, D, E, and K), since poor fat absorption can affect vitamin absorption too. They may recommend supplements to help.
