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).
