@sandyjr, I am confused about your question about intermittent diet and reference to your oncologist. Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis is managed by a liver specialist or a Gastroenterologist.
Here is some diet/nutrition information specific to PSC.
Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) is a rare liver disease that damages the bile ducts inside and outside the liver. I want to introduce you and your daughter to 'PSC Partners Seeking a Cure'. PSC Partners Seeking a Cure is a nonprofit organization with various programs to give support to patients, caregivers, and to educate patients and the medical community about PSC. Here is what I read about diet-
"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. However, many PSCers have related digestive issues, such as ulcerative colitis and other gastrointestinal problems, and need to stick to a specific diet, as advised by professionals."

Another resource is NIH where you will find this information: Eating, Diet, & Nutrition for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis - What should I eat if I have PSC?

@sandyjr, PSC is a rare disease, it is a progressive disease. I was transplanted in 2009 due to PSC. Throughout my entire PSC journey, my GI (Gastroenterologist) monitored my condition with routine labs and consults. Without any additional conditions, I was advised to maintain a healthy lifestyle with a heart healthy diet and to get regular exercise. He guided me and answered all of my questions.
Does your daughter have regular visits and labs with her doctor? Is she an adult or a child, for example, How active is she in maintain her own diet and health management? What has he advised about her dietary needs?
My message was specific to people with her diseases but got moved to the intermittent dieting group. I was hoping to hear from people that had one or more of those diseases to see if intermittent dieting could have a positive effect. It seems that the responses have been more toward weight loss. My daughter an I are well aware of how awful PSC is. Yes, she is under a doctor’s care.
I would like to hear from people doing intermittent fasting for help with a disease so that she can ask her doctor what he thinks. She is an adult. I mentioned my oncologist because he was talking about it and pretty much got me interested in it. I like that with autophagy, your body can get rid of old, damaged cells and then rebuild with new cells. I can see where that could have an effect on cancer.
