That's a great question for anyone managing PBC! There isn't a specific egg limit outlined for PBC, but eggs can actually be a helpful food since they provide vitamins A, D, and B12 — nutrients that people with PBC are often low in.

That's a great question for anyone managing PBC! There isn't a specific egg limit outlined for PBC, but eggs can actually be a helpful food since they provide vitamins A, D, and B12 — nutrients that people with PBC are often low in.

That said, eggs do contain saturated fat and cholesterol, so moderation is key. General healthy eating guidance typically suggests around 6–7 eggs per week for most people, but your individual needs may vary depending on your PBC stage and overall health.

Here are a few egg-friendly tips for PBC:

- Choose preparation methods wisely — boiled or poached is better than fried
- Pair eggs with leafy greens for an extra nutrient boost
- Avoid adding high-sodium or high-fat extras like processed meats

It's always best to check with your doctor or a registered dietitian who understands your specific PBC situation, as they can give you a personalized recommendation based on your current liver health and any nutrient deficiencies.
