What Causes Diarrhea, Nausea And Abdominal Bloating After Kidney Transplantation?

My brother in law has had a kidney transplant where he gave his son one of his kidneys. He went by ambulance two days ago to hospital. I think he picked up a flu bug . He has been having diarrhea, nausea,, and now his stomache is really swollen or bloated. What should we do or what could it be.

Hi,

I think your brother-in-law is through a stomach bug. Taking into account his personal history as kidney donator, it is good he went to hospital to ensure it has nothing to do with his left kidney.

He should:
- Drink plenty of water and oral rehydration salts to keep well
- Follow BRAT diet (banana, rice, apple sauce, toast)
- Take Tasectan or Peptobismol to stop diarrhea
- Take probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini,
