There’s no such thing as a “PSC diet”! ❌ No evidence shows diet slows PSC progression, but many patients alter how they eat to feel better day-to-day and manage symptoms. NOTE: Disease progression is NOT a reflection of diet choice. Info ➡️ buff.ly/iyWfvAg #LetsBeatPSC
How can we better predict disease progression in PSC? New research highlights active vitamin B6 as a potential prognostic biomarker. Studies suggest measuring B6 could help assess risk & improve monitoring for people living with #PSC. ➡️ buff.ly/dqOmSUj #LetsBeatPSC #PSCResearch

Ever wondered what PSC looks like inside the body? Think of your bile ducts like a tree. In a healthy liver (left), bile flows smoothly down the branches and out the trunk to help you digest food. But in PSC (right), an autoimmune attack causes chronic inflammation, leading to scarring and narrowing
Living with or supporting someone with PSC can be exhausting, physically and emotionally. Taking time for yourself isn't selfish, it's essential. How are your squares looking? #SelfCareDay2026 #LetsBeatPSC #PSCSupport #PSC #LiverHealth #SelfCareBingo #ChronicIllnessSupport
Thank you everyone in our global community who shared their experiences.

Imagine trying to explain a medical emergency while in the middle of it. An acute cholangitis attack is scary, communicating symptoms to A&E staff shouldn't be another hurdle. Our free PSC Alert Card does the talking for you. Order yours today buff.ly/CTU84ta #LetsBeatPSC
Because #PSC progresses differently for everyone, predicting how it will develop is a massive challenge for doctors. A new study has developed a simplified '3-biomarker' blood test that measures scarring, inflammation & #guthealth simultaneously. ➡️ pscsupport.org.uk/predicting-p...
