Mikes got a dreaded stomach bug! Over a year after transplant.
Best to call co-ordinator or wait 1.5 days till he sees her at clinic for blood test ect??  :waiting;

I'd call just in case and I'd drink and drink lots of fluids (water really) to not get dehydrated especially if there is vomiting and/or diarrhea.  Also if this is the case, go on the BRAT diet...bananas, rice, applesauce and toast....NO DAIRY.

Since you're so concerned I would call also - always better to make a call that might seem silly or over the top than to not call. Let them know what's going on and seek advice - even for your own peace of mind. And yes, drink lots of fluids for sure!
