Bloating in the stomach can be a symptom of Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC). According to the knowledge base, PBC can cause your belly to become larger and make you feel bloated due to excess fluid, which can also lead to rapid weight gain. This symptom is related to the condition itself rather than being a side effect of Ocaliva (obeticholic acid).

Here are some key points:
- Bloating and PBC: PBC can cause your belly to become larger and make you feel bloated.
- Excess Fluid: This bloating is due to excess fluid, which can also cause rapid weight gain.

If you are experiencing bloating, it is advisable to discuss this with your healthcare provider to determine the exact cause and appropriate management.
