Hi Barbara. Thanks for your thoughts. No, I have not started any new medications or taken any new supplements that might have interacted with the tacrolimus. In terms of diet - I do think the sour stomach might be more attributable to some of my summer vacation food choices, but I’ve dialed that back, and still notice the sour stomach - even after I eat simple meals. And, yes, I’m pretty diligent about staying in touch with my Mayo JAX transplant team. They have been terrific. I was just hoping that at some point I could get down to blood labs every 3 months - but that seems less likely to happen given what’s been going on. To further complicate it, CVS just refilled my tacrolimus prescription, and the drug manufacturer has changed. I will probably start taking those pills in the next couple of weeks. Last time that happened, it wreaked havoc on my tac blood levels.
Hope you are doing well.
