The development of a nutrition and exercise toolkit for patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC)

Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is an autoimmune liver disease that is associated with multiple symptoms, including fatigue, pruritus, bone disease, emotional distress and impaired health related quality of life. There is evidence to support the important role of exercise and nutrition in improving symptoms and reducing disease-related complications in people with PBC. Working together with the PBC society, we will develop a PBC nutrition and exercise toolkit consisting of practical tips about nutrition and exercise. This material will be incorporated on the PBC website and provided to new members joining the PBC patient association.
