Ever since I started the 900 MG of ursodiol, my poop has been slowing getting back to normal color and smell. I had the poop issues for 3 years before getting diagnosed with PBC, just like I had high blood pressure for 3 years as well due to the PBC, now my blood pressure been lowering while on ursodiol.
Not gross at all — it's a totally valid and important thing to pay attention to! Changes in stool color and smell can actually be connected to PBC.
With PBC, the bile ducts become inflamed and damaged, which can block the normal flow of bile. Bile is what gives stool its typical brown color, so when it can't flow properly Show Full Answer
There is a lot of digestive issues with PBC. Talk to your DR about what can help you. It's worth the conversation. Good luck.
I’m so sorry. I know how it is. I’ve been on Urso since2016. It works to keep the bile flowing through the ducts. The excessive Gastrointestinal issues keep me in bed 4 or so days a week.
Yes and I have been on URSO for 9 months. Labs are within normal range but no changes with this! Some days are worse than others and I am sure it has something to do with diet but I have yet to figure it out. I also have bouts where I have vomiting and diarrhea and no idea what causes that. My recent ultrasound says my liver is now cirrhotic where 9 months ago no mention of any scarring and I have been on 900 mg URSO the entire time.
