Has anyone developed a colitis post liver transplant?

And if so, do you know why? My local GI is a bit useless — he has contradicted himself at least three times in our last appointment and he recommended something that contradicted what another friend (not transplanted) was told by her GI doc about diet. I also checked online and my GI doc is totally, totally wrong on that score.

What could cause a colitis post tx? Not sure what kind it is. Non-specific most likely, but possibly ulcerative colitis.

Any advice?

You need a specialist opinion so ask your GP for a referral to a different GI consultant or talk to your post transplant team to see if they can help. Mike
