Eating issues

Eating problems usually subside quite a bit a year post transplant. If you're just starting to have them now you need to contact your transplant coordinator and let them know.

We are t re young to switch a medication

I had a Double Lung tx in May 2022, I am not sure what type of transplant you had. However, I was told by my team that digestive issues are common with lung tx's. My team referred me to a gastrologist that I see sometimes. They put me on some meds that help me with my issues. Discuss it with your tx team and ask if you should see a gastrologist.

I am a liver/kidney recipient. My gall bladder was removed at time of my transplant. I was prescribed omeprazole after my transplant to counteract heartburn which many patients have experienced.
I was advised to:
Avoid fatty, greasy, or spicy foods.
Eat lean meat, low-fat dairy, and leafy green vegetables.
Eat low-fat diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.
Eat smaller, more frequent meals.

-Heartburn after liver transplant: How do I get relief?

To this day. 16 years post transplant, I have a difficult time after eating spicy or fried foods - except occasional small portions.
Are you a liver transplant recipient? Does your transplant team think that a medication switch is what you need?

I’m heart transplant 03/19/2024.

I’ll check with the team.

Thank you

We are hoping the medication switch will works. What I’ve learned over this year sometimes throw some mud see what sticks. What works for one patient might not work for the next patient.
