When I look up stuff for PSC, I often get info for PBC. Why? What are the best foods for PSC. I know there are several diets out there and I know some people are hung up on fats and carbs, pro and con, but disregarding people’s ingrained beliefs, what would be the most healing foods for this condition?

Hi, @sandyjr. I have located some nutritional information for PSC patients that I am sharing with you. But first, I want to remind you that PSC is a chronic disease, and one must be careful to maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet. It is necessary that your daughter follow the advice of the doctor who is supervising the PSC.
http://pscpartners.org/nutrition/
In the Nutrition section on this website it reads "There is no specific PSC diet and most patients do not have to make any changes, except to continue to eat in a healthy, sensible way. But many PSCers have related digestive issues, such as ulcerative colitis and other gut problems, and need to stick to a specific diet, as advised by professionals."
I also recommend this link to the Living with PSC Podcast. http://pscpartners.org/living-with-psc-podcast/
Each podcast is presented by a leading PSC expert. Any and All of them are worthwhile for both you and your daughets to view. I suggest that you both begin with:
EPISODE 2 – DR. CHRIS BOWLUS: DIET & EMERGING TRENDS
EPISODE 10 – DR. VALENTINA MEDICI: NUTRITION AND PSC
Sandy, What did you and your daughter learn from the podcasts that will be helpful for her to maintain a healthy diet?

You will get better results searching for the condition when fully written out instead of the initials. I think you are talking of primary sclerosing cholangitis. I may have it misspelled. If so I came up with this site: https://pscpartners.org/nutrition/ . I honestly have never heard of this one... but there are many conditions I have never heard of.
