@smithjim Hi Jim, and congratulations on your successful liver transplant. I had a liver transplant in September 2016 and am doing well, except for...
having gas, and I am also having problems with diarrhea — when I have one, I also have the other. I hate to ask this, but are you having diarrhea or soft stools?
I have been researching this and will try to find the sites again tomorrow. I looked up lactose intolerance and IBS. This led me to some other conditions such as IBD and crohns. What I read was that these are considered to be auto-immune conditions, and one of the causes can be immunosuppressants! I have definitely identified lactose or maybe all dairy to be a trigger for me, but I am having a problem sometimes even when I avoid these, and/or take lactaid. These problems started after I started after taking the immunosuppressants and have gotten progressively worse. It has taken me all of this time to begin narrowing down the cause.
If you also have similar problems or stomach cramps you may also have this. I do not have other symptoms such as stomach cramps unless I exercise too soon after eating anything so I am not sure if that is related, probably not.
If this sounds at all like your problems please let me know, and I will let you know what else I find out.
JK
