Hi Sophie,

I don't know much about this area of PBC, but in the past on here some people have talked of various digestive problems. What does the Doctor plan to do, has he said? Also, are you sure he said 30-40 cms? That's pretty big.

If no one else - who really knows their stuff in this area - answers, I would read through past questions to see if similar topics have come up in the past, and then maybe re-post after the Easter weekend. Things can be a bit slow on here at weekends, and I guess the holiday will make it more so. Take care, I hope all goes well.

Sorry I can't help more, I hope someone else can say more. Meanwhile, check back thru Qs, or re-post as I said. Take care and let us all know how you get on.
