Thanks all for comments. I have received a long, detailed research paper from my dietician which states that although natural yoghurt and 'Bio' / 'Probiotic' can share the same combination of the main five live cultures, it is those labelled 'Bio' and 'Probiotic' that have higher quantities and shou...

RE: Transplants and yoghurt!
Hello All I am 15 months post transplant and am embarking on a diet (thanks, steroids!). I love Greek yoghurt (Fage Total 0% Fat) but have noticed that it contains live cultures. I know this is a no-no for transplantees. After lots of research, and by the very definition of yoghurt, I am unable to f...

Re: CMV
Hi Sarah My transplant was just over a year ago. My donor was unrelated and was CMV positive whilst I was negative. I took valganciclovior for the first three months then contracted CMV so went back on this time double dose. The first year for me was all about a low WBC which can also be caused by t...

Re: CMV ?
I too take Valganciclovir. Originally one 450mg tablet per week, then one every other day, now one every day until Sept 19th (six months post TX). Dosage increase is due to how well the transplanted kidney is functioning. More is needed the better the kidney is working to stop CMV virus taking hold....

Re: London bridges walk 2015
Well done Sue! It was quite an accomplishment wasn't it? Felt very emotional crossing the line - silently thanking my donor. It was lovely to walk with fellow patients from my hospital (QA Portsmouth) and fabulous to see the Renal staff walking too. Lovely to see all the kiddies and dogs and a very ...

Re: Taking pills - how long don't you eat
