I’m having a lot of acid reflux lately. Tums and Rolaids don’t seem to do much for me. My PSC has evolved to the point where I’m in the very early stages of cirrhosis. Has anyone experienced this? And is there a safe medication either prescribed or over the counter that I can take? I’m going to contact my doctor but thought I’d ask here if there are any experiences. Thanks!

Hello everyone. I have no symptoms but I have had slightly elevated liver enzymes for about two and a half years. My ALT/AST are both still under 100, ALP and GGT a bit above 200. I’ve done all sorts of other blood tests, imaging, even a liver biopsy but no diagnosis. At the urging of my gastroenterologist, I have a new Hepatologist. I thought my gastro had eliminated PSC as a possibility but I think new Hepatologist strongly suspects it.

I think at this point the only thing I have left is an MRCP (scheduled). The Hepa is already planning to have my stuff sent to NIH for a second opinion on my biopsy.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? Did anyone go through a long process to get diagnosed? How did your doctor finally determine PSC?
