Hi,
Since you have a history of biliary atresia you need to avoid alcohol.
Alcohol consumption will trigger liver problems & affect the common bile duct resulting in cholangitis, infection & blockage of the biliary system.
Avoid alcohol & addictions if any. Follow a healthy lifestyle, stay away from oily junk food. Take fruits, veggies, berries. Exercise regularly. Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
