I have lost 50 lbs and am stable after consuming 60 to 80 grams of low fat protein.

Yes, weight gain is noted as a potential side effect of Ursodiol (also known as ursodeoxycholic acid or UDCA). According to the Mayo Clinic, some people taking UDCA for PBC may experience weight gain. If you have concerns about this side effect, it's important to discuss them with your doctor.
