Welches grape juice was very hard on me. We now buy our fruits and veggies and juice it in the juicing machine. It doesn't last as long but it makes me feel a lot better

I'm sorry. I miss read. I wouldn't drink the crannberry juice. If you get a reaction to the acid it's painful. I'm going to try what Rebecca is drinking. Welches grape juice causes so much pain for me I won't touch it ever again. We bought a juicer and make our own.

I had to find and buy low acid coffee. Urso really brings out the acid for me

in reply to

Oh gosh I know .. this acid is horrible , do you have anything to stop it when you have it ? In desperation I have to have gaviscon .. I wait as long as possible as to when I take it especially if I have not long took the urso

I take a probioticfirst thing in the morning with a glass of water. Then 30 mins later I have my coffee and start the eating process so that I can take my meds

I would drink a 1/4 dose protein shake w berries, real dried cranberries, ground chia and ground flax seeds instead of any juice drink. Too much sugar, too many unknowns in what they put in juice and cranberry juice tastes like stomach acid to me. I take cranberry pills to prevent UTIs and my hepatologist never said I shouldn't.

Hi Jlruggie,

That's good to know 👍

I don't drink a lot of juice but I'm partial to cranberry juice as it's the only thing that's satisfies a thirst in my opinion , I thought I would just ask as I know with certain meds you can't have certain things etc and as I'm also on hrt I'm aware you can't have a lot of natural foods , but I had a glass and thought I'd be ok , just find it all concerning as you really do have to adapt your eating and drinking habits , I'm very cautious as my PBC has more or less been confirmed as being caused by medications that I have been on due to a spinal problem . But thank you in your reply and suggestion, it's very much appreciated 👍😀

I'm going to try this. I put cranberries in my oatmeal and 🥗

I have difficult time swallowing large pills, so, I take Urso with a bit of V8 or tomato juice. They are thicker than water and helps me not to chock on it. I've been doing for 6 months and it works well for me.
