I am freaked out, I tested positive for AMA and won't see a specialist until after six months, my ALP is normal, is there a chance that I don't have PBC?

DOES the ursidol medicine cause weight gain 😢😢

[@lisababiuk137]

I heard that post covid... NAD, omega 3, Ashwaganda and rhodiola were highly recommended. What are the thoughts with PBC?

[@jillhontz3145]

I don’t know if this would help but you could try it if you’d like. I saw a comment on another PBC video on RUclips. This person said a unique discovery for itching is mustard oil mixed with mashed turmeric (Haldi)), warmed when applied gave relief for intense itch
