I will be interested to read the replies to this thread.

There have been no studies as far as I am aware, but the aecdotal evidence points to a weight gain, not loss.

With regards to your weightloss and your PBC. If we can be of help directly, do contact me.

Yours,

Robert.

kingsnorth...can’t speak for Urso as I only take Ocaliva. I too, am very small & cant afford to lose weight. I have lost 2-3 lbs but mine could be attributed to thyroid. Makes us wonder??? 😊

For what its worth, I still eat butter in moderation and feel it's good for my body. My doctor encourages me to eat it. We need good, healthy fats.

I only lost weight from going on a gluten free/strict diet of no sodas, no junk food and try to eat only grass fed meat, veggies and fruit.

Im thinking my weight loss may be due to me cutting out lots of things l no longer eat butter and l eat very little and may be not enough l probably need to see a nutrionist as quite honestly im watching everything eat and getting paranoid. I also have fatty liver x

Hello , Kingsnorth

I too have lost some weight whilst taking Urso . I am also very petite, I attribute my weight loss to eating very sensible and cutting out a lot of sugar and fat . I walk everyday with my dogs . In my case I really do not think the weight loss is from the Urso .

Very kind wishes Miriam x

Almost wish I had your problem! I've always had weight problems and without exercise and a low fat, low sugar, low carb diet pile weight on, URSO or not. Like everyone else, the diet helps keep things under control, a recent holiday where the food waas high in fats resulted in me being ill for days after I got home.

Healthy eating seems to be the answer! Keep well everyone.

I agree Angela healthy eating is good im now going to eat more during the day to be honest ive never had a big appetite. I always have porridge and banana for breakfast lunch time usually advocados or tuna sandwich or boiled eggs and evening usually home chicken or veg soup. I think l have a good diet but not a calorific one so need to eat more but l will struggle

Try just a tiny bit more at each meal of something more high calorie and see what you can tolerate. I eat a lot of salmon, which is oily I know, but I can tolerate it well and it is good protein. Good luck!

I am overweight but sadly Urso doesn’t make me lose weight. I am waiting for a miracle drug that makes me lose weight, have glossy thick hair and irons out my wrinkles (sigh)
