I used to get acid reflux that would cause severe burning into my throat and would end up vomiting bile along with the stomach acid. I found mine was due to response to snacks with higher fat content(IE: ice cream, full fat cottage cheese)
Please discuss this symptom with your provider so they can determine before it gets serious.

How common is it to experience bile in the throat that causes burning with PBC?

While the search results don't provide specific statistics about how many people with PBC experience bile in their throat with burning, this symptom isn't typically listed among the most common PBC symptoms.

The most frequently reported symptoms of PBC include:
- Itchy skin (affecting around 55-81% of people)
- Fatigue (affecting around 65% of people)
- Dry mouth and dry eyes

The burning sensation you're describing could be related to acid reflux or bile reflux, which can occur when digestive fluids back up into the esophagus and throat. This may feel like a burning sensation.

If you're experiencing this symptom, it's important to discuss it with your healthcare provider. They can help determine if it's related to your PBC, another digestive issue, or a medication side effect, and recommend appropriate treatment to help relieve the discomfort.

Have you talked to your Doctor? Mine isn't bile it’s the stomach contents causing “heartburn” In my esophagus. A ginger tea is very soothing!
