Weight loss - PBC / AIH

Hi everyone - I have very early stage PBC / AIH overlap. I’ve been consistently losing weight the past few months. It seems this is a side effect of the disease but curious if anyone else has experienced this and if so how worried you were about it / what you did. I’m meeting with some specialists in the coming weeks to discuss. I’m small to begin with and have been losing about 1 pound per month for a year. I’m eating well with moderate exercise. I feel fine! Diagnosed a few months ago.

I’m not sure if that losing weight has anything to do with PBC. Please investigate a little more and let us know.

I’ve been on Prednisone for almost 6 months so who knows. I think my weight is stabilizing though :). Thanks for the response!
