Mine have been soft since transplant, but when I did have severe diarrhea problems they adjusted one of my meds and that stopped it. You should definitely see your team about that. Good luck!

I believe it was the Ranitidine but it’s been a while; they cut down how many I was taking

Hi, I have been like this since my second transplant in February. I am told that the most likely cause was the MMF and was changed to Myfortic. Things are a bit better with less stomach cramping. Have hardly left the house because of this. No problems like this after first transplant 20 years ago; I was on prednisalone, ciclosporine and azathiaprine then and on Tacrolimus, Myfortic and prednsalone now.
