Bloating after transplant

[Kompai]

Hi, I had 2nd kidney transplant 2017 after 14 years dialysis. I have trouble with stomach bloating , if it's hot at work and I swear I feel better otherwise after every meal always feel bloated for hours.

10mg pred still

Tacrolimus

Mycophenalte

Warfarin for heart

Have the same. Here is what was done.1. My Nephrologist refferred me to a gastro specialist (part of his medical team). This is to eliminate any stomach only issues (bloating, reflux, off/on constitution, protruding stomach, searing pain, etc)

2. Gastro gave me a few meds (I don't provide these info as people tend to take this as prescription that will work for them also). It cured some but not all.

3. Adviced me to eat 5 small meals instead of 3.

- if the pain was 10 previously, improved to 5. Yet still an issue. So by process of elimination - it pointed out to balancing of meds.

4. Which is what my Nephrologist started to do.

- pain is now down to 3. And still working on it (3rd month and counting).

Point is - consult you medical team, they are the experts. We are experience sharer.

Good luck, hope it works for you soon.

Thanks again

My Nephrologist didn't use dietitians - he said they don't do differential clinical analysis most of the time.

He uses only specialists in his team. They jointly do the analytical diagnosis. They all synchronize treatment and medication - end goal is to protect the kidney.

How did you feel to get a transplant after 14 years. Who was the donor and how is it going?

Sorry, haven't begun dialysis so I can't help you out.

After your nephrologist reduced your prednison down to 5mg, you should feel little better.
