from Dr. Jones's book The Definitive Guide for Patients With Primary Biliary Cholangitis....

One of the most common other auto immune diseases associated with PBC is Sjogrens Syndrome. With having the salivary and tear glands are affected, the patient experiences lack of tears, dry mouth, painful gritty eyes. The dry mouth can lead to difficulty swallowing and/or issues with your mouth hygiene.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, let your doctor know.
