Unfortunately, gi's make fun of his theories. I think this is the most promising area of study for UC but there are no well planned and funded studies being done.

My JPouch surgery failed because I ended up getting recurring pouchitis. I would be willing to try this type of approach if it could possibly cure my Pouchitis issues. I am with an ileostomy now and decided not to completely remove my JPouch in the hopes that some day they good doctors come up with a solution.

I met a woman from the American Embassy in Germany who told me the German Health Care System is in great support of this and are doing research on this subject. The current experiment she was a part of takes microbial samples from the large intestine, colonizes them and creates a pill the person takes after a course of antibiotics to reestablish the person's normal bacterial balance. I have not been able to find anything about this on the internet but it is exactly what I think we need. Have you heard about this or have any idea about how I might find more information about it?
