Finally have a diagnosis.
I Had my biopsy on June 28th and it was an awful experience, the Dr apparently did not take a big enough piece and although they can confirm that it is pbc and it is severe, they cannot tell me what stage I am in as the sample was too small. He didn't go in through the side. He went in through my chest

BILE ACID MALL ABSORPTION
I have been prescribed
COLESTYRAMINE
(QUESTRAN LIGHT) for Bile Acid Mall Absorption (BAM) but I am allergic to the ingredient: Aspartame as it gives me chronic migraines. There is another medication called COLESTIPOL but one of the side effects is headache/migraine.

Questran/colestyramine availability?
I am still having problems in finding Questran or
Colestyramine
in this country. Boots cannot get it and I have not been able to find another source. Is anyone else taking it and, if so, where they do they get it from? Professor Read recommended it to me and I find it a great help.

This itch is driving me nuts!
I am on Ursodeoxycholic Acid 250mg twice a day and
Colestyramine
4g three times a day. I have been prescribed a range of drugs to help with the itching none of which have worked.

Questran/Colestyramine supply problems
I take Questran on a regular basis on the advice of Professor Read and find it very effective. However twice this year I have been unable to get it from the pharmacy.

VitD3 and medications that can reduce thyroid hormone absorption...
Houston Thyroid and Endocrine state
vitD3 can significantly reduce absorption of thyroid hormone
and advise taking it 4 hours away from thyroxine as advised with calcium and iron. [i]These are medications that reduce the absorption of thyroid hormone in the gastrointestinal system significantly
