Stomach cramps/bloating Day +65
Anyone had early gut GVHD and what were your symptoms. I have had stomach pains and bloating/indigestion but no diarrhoea or vomiting. These started about a week after Ciclosporin taper.
Team not sure if it is GVHD or just gastritis at this stage and told me to keep eye on symptoms and take Gaviscon.
