Raw Fish?

[Hello13]

Has anyone else been told not to eat raw fish? My boyfriend was just told that raw fish could greatly harm him, but I have not read or heard that anywhere else by anyone else with PBC.

Yes not advisable

Agree👍 I wouldn’t chance it

Yes I have read reports about not eating raw fish, not only for people with pbc though-anyone. Can't remember the details but think it was something to do with parasites. Not something I eat anyway but after I read the article decided I never will.

Fish are full of plastic, parasites, poisonos metals and toxins. I'd avoid cooked as well as raw with liver issues.

Cooked fish is no problem as long as it doesn’t come from China. I threw away a 3 lb bag frozen salmon when I read the report on how nasty fish are that come from there. 😖

I had asked my Hepatologist this regarding sushi when I was first diagnosed. He told me it was fine & I should eat more fish as it was healthy.

Seems like there are varied opinions here. Have him ask his doctor. Might depend on his particular circumstances.

Wow! I’ve heard no raw fish of any kind because of our immune system & risk of bacteria.

[Hidden in reply to gwillistexas]

I eat sushi all the time.

Maybe I'll just ask my doctor again next time I see him.

[gwillistexas in reply to Hidden]

Might be good idea😊

[Hidden in reply to gwillistexas]

I remember that was one of the first questions I asked him & he told me it was fine.

Take fish oil omega 3 pills. This will get you covered. They are especially processed not to contain mercury. I'd definitely stay away from raw fish, there are so many risks with eating it, even for perfectly healthy people. Fish can never be controlled, like meat. I eat fish occasionally, but, well cooked. Why create additional problems when they can be easily avoided? There are enough problems that we can't control.
