I am currently on Cellcept for suppression of my immune system. Mycophenolate is known for its GI toxicity. Has anyone switched to Myfortic, which is an enteric coated tablet supposed to be better tolerated?

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.

@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.
