Hi @nanmargaret 😊 Thank you so much for mentioning acid reflux and GI issues. I take Mycophenolate. (I never knew that Myfortic is a coated version of Mycophenolate!)
I would like to take Protonix but I am concerned about adding to my already elevated liver enzymes.
I take my Tacronlimis and Mycophenolate with food in hope of helping my stomach, but it doesn't seem to be working. Do you take your medications on an empty stomach or with food?

@hello1234, I don't intend to take this discussion off topic of have a semi-related question. You mentioned that you take both Tacrolimus and Mycophenolate. So do I, and have been doing it for 13 years with no complications. I do acknowledge that each of us is different and will react differently, but I want to ask you if what you eat for breakfast has any effect on the severity of your stomach issues that you refer to? Have you ever kept a record what you eat before meds for a period of time/ and then after you eat for another period of time? This is just an idea that popped up because I am currently keeping a record for several weeks for a different reason as suggested by the liver transplant doctor at my checkup last week. He said that this will help to identify what might be disturbing system currently.
Will you let me know what you think of this idea?
