Diarrhea after transplant can be due to mycophenolate (Cellcept), however it usually occurs early after transplant and is unusual after 10 years.
High levels of tacrolimus can also cause diarrhoea. - so levels of Pangraf should be checked.
A detailed examination of stool to look for parasites and rare organisms needs to be done if you are not responding to conventional antibiotics.
