Post allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT) Digestive Issues

Hello @jandm1813 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. At 41 days post transplant, it does seem like this may be persisting longer than you may have expected, is that right? Changing his diet and doing what you can to address gut health seems very reasonable at this point. Is his doctor concerned about how long this has been going on?

Hello! His SCT doctor and the team have not been overly concerned as diarrhea is typical after the procedure. Mark did have stomach pain on Monday night that kept him up, ugh, and on Tuesday (yesterday) at outpatient clinic, it was determined that with stomach pain and diarrhea issues, they are testing a stool sample (had one 3 weeks ago, negative) and may have an upper and lower GI scope performed to rule out gut GVHD. I will post an update soon. Thank you @amandajro for your insight!
