I woke up and my face is more puffy. Is this a sign of rejection?

I know it sounds super silly but have you ate anything extra salty ? I myskef am 2 years out and I am great but if I get a little crazy a day or two where I eat crap I sometimes retain a little fluid but not much

Think the antibiotics just really affected my gut health and it took a while to get back to normal
I’m feeling better now so that’s good
I had diarhea for like a week then it finally stopped after my gut healed
are you on prednisone?
@DaniBear yes 5mg every day but I’ve been taking that since last august when I got the transplant
@Lizzieb22 prednisone can still cause the puffy face no matter the dose, i’m not on it anymore but was a few times before my transplant. my face was always puffy when i was on it. how is your water intake and are you peeing enough? have you weighed yourself and is it where it’s normal or over? if you weigh more than usual and your intake/out take is fine then i wouldn’t worry but if it is i might consider calling your team.
I also think it would be wise to get blood work, but look up C-diff first and if you feel like you have that just wash your hands a lot with soap and water. Antibacterial sanitizer will not kill it.
@cansan08 ya I was looking at c diff but I don’t have diarrhea but I’m really thinking that it is that and I said that to my doctor but she said we can’t test with it without diarrhea
@Lizzieb22 yeah i’ve had cdiff and you 100% don’t have it if you don’t have diarrhea
C-diff is VERY contagious.
If you want homemade chicken noodle soup let me know so I can make it tomorrow
@cansan08 Sorry I meant to send that last one to my dad.
@cansan08 haha how sweet
Well there is an infection called C-diff that is caused by antibiotics. Look up the symptoms and if you feel like you have that you need to go to the ER as soon as possible. I'm so sorry you don't feel good. I will be praying for you
Not even a year. Got my transplant in beginning of august. I wanna get lab tested early because I had an infection from a uti that traveled up in April so they gave me antibiotics while in the hospital and had to take them for 10 days after that and since my stomach has been hurting and my dr said to just eat natural probiotics like yogurt. But I’m scared the antibiotics gave me like another infection in my gut
How long have you had your kidney? Do you have any other symptoms?
