Hi

My docs, & I think that this is the general consensus, say that there

is no special diet for psc (unless you have any other particular

probs). So just eat a normal healthy diet, fruit veg meat etc. The

important thing is to try & maintain weight as much as possible and not

loose too much.

As Tim (UK) said a well balanced diet is recommended. I have problems

with meals that are high in fat content. So I try to keep to a low fat

diet.

Other things you can do -

Make note of foods that aren't well tolerated, and avoid them.

Get tested for food alergies and plan meals around the results.

Consider supplements (especially calcium & D) with your doctor. Poor

calcium absorption and resulting low bone density is a side effect of

PSC.

Ask for a blood test to determine if the fat based vitamins (ADEK) are

at adequate levels.

Not everyone wants or needs all the testing that it is possible to do.

I would start with the simple things and progress as symptoms appeared.

Tim R
