Kurt,
Thanks! I think this is the thread you are referring to...

Originally, my Dr thought I had PBC, but after the tests and biopsies, my diagnosis was changed to NASH, which is manageable and more common. PBC generally requires a liver transplant, eventually but NASH can be treated with lifestyle and diet, although there aren't any meds that are specific to this condition. I've been living with this for a few years and I'm happy with where I am now, but it took a major lifestyle change and the support of my wonderful wife and family. I'm optimistic about Mike because he's a determined and disciplined guy. The onset of gout knocked me back a little, but I'm aggressively managing/fighting that, too!
