10. Prevention
Preventing cholangitis may not be possible since there are so many possible causes. However, you may be able to make lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of developing conditions that can cause cholangitis.
For example, since gallstones are a common cause of cholangitis, you can eat a low-fat, high-fiber diet to help prevent them from forming. Since smoking can cause bile duct inflammation, quitting tobacco use can help prevent cholangitis and offers numerous other health benefits as well.
