@altabiznet I’ve been on cell cept and prednisone now for an autoimmune condition that was attacking my lungs and skin. I got the Diagnoses last August with a condition called Antisynthatase PL7. I’ve been on predinisone for 9mos, Cell Cept for 8mos, currently at a low dose of predinisone trying to taper off completely in the next month or so. For context, I’m a relatively fit 44 year old male which (prior to my diagnosis) no co morbidities. I think so far I’ve been pretty lucky on the GI front with MMF. My regular labs have come in as expected. I get occasional diarrhea but Ive also been on antibiotics every other day (Bactrim) since I started the prednisone. All in all I seem to be tolerating the Cell Cept so far.

After my liver transplant, I was prescribed both mycophenelate and Tacrolimus. The mycophenelate was very tough on my GI track, but it was stopped after 9 months following a bout with diverticulitis. Once it was discontinued, BMs returned to normal and I got a big boost in energy.
I hope that helps.
