Trying to find a good donor for a fecal transplant, is trying to find a needle
in a haystack. If anyone in the Ontario area, knows a good candidate, I'm
offering straight cash for assistance.

Thanks

Why don't you try doing it yourself? I've read about people doing that.

Are there physicians in Canada willing to do it for U.C., or are you going to try to do it yourself?

mine is no good ; (

Could be difficult outside of family and partner. Perhaps start with an alternative medical person, they could be more open-minded and know potential donors who would agree with being tested and donating.

Here in US there are spas that do "colonic irrigation", basically an enema. Are there similar places in Canada?

CGK.. there are no physicians doing it in Canada, except to treat C-diff.
I am going to perform it myself.

imagardener... yes it will be difficult. By alternative medical person, u mean like a naturopath?

Yes there are colonic irrigation facilities in Canada.

I really don't have any good candidates in family, or even friends I would consider healthy choices.
This will be difficult.

I envy people who have access to Dr. Barody's clinic. He has donor material ready to go for those who can't find a suitable donor.

Hopefully you can find somebody local.

I'm thinking about doing this as well but I don't know what type of person is considered a "good" donor. Could someone please list some basic criteria. Like how many BMs the person should be having ect. I know absolutely nothing. I was thinking that maybe my sister could be a good donor but she was just recently diagnosed with a different infammatory problem so she's a no-go. Seems like inflammatory conditions run in the family. I don't think anyone in my direct family is suitable.

I (a 29 yr old male at the time) was a donor for my wife and everything turned out great! I'm a huge fan of the fecal transplant...my wife was locked down to the house for 3 years and now she is pain free and can go to the store without worry!

I have read that babies are the best donors because they have had relatively little antibiotics hit their digestive system but really anyone that has no communicable diseases (HIV, hepatitis, worms, etc) and has regular BMs is a good donor.

I've created a facebook group dedicated to this procedure...maybe you can post there and find some help/answers.

Because if a person is missing certain strains of bacteria, then they aren't going to get it from their own poo.

Thanks for replies.

Just trying to get idea's on how to find a donor.
Not such an easy thing. Aside from the embarrassing part, and the crazy
reaction I will certainly get. Finding an ideal candidate is tough, as so many
people have taken antibiotics.

I have a friend in Ontario and I think his poo is pretty healthy. He never takes meds for anything. Of course I can't speak for him, but if you don't find someone maybe you can get in touch with him. He's open to giving me poo, but he's in Canada and all, lol.

Also, may I ask what city you're near?

Never in my life would I have believed that I'd hear someone say they'd pay thousands for someone's poo. Only those with UC wouldn't think it was a joke. Maybe this is a good business idea?

Maybe one day drug companies will be marketing 'poo' capsules like the way they market probiotics.

You may be given a choice of choosing mint, strawberry or cinnamon flavoured poo capsules

Or kill two birds with one stone and make curry caps.

tankor, if you still need help, you can e-mail me and I'll see what I can do. =)

Did you get my e-mail? I replied to you, but my hotmails been being stupid. If not, I can try again with my other e-mail address or have the donor get in touch with you.

I wish I knew someone who could help you. I used to live in Ontario and have relatives there, but no one who would be comfortable with this.... or else I'd use them myself on a visit (when I am flaring again, I mean).

Can you narrow down your location? Toronto? Ottawa?
Posted 8/24/2011 2:19 AM (GMT 0)
Toronto..

Wish they had donor banks for this like they do for blood

Maybe put an ad up on Craigslist or the newspaper?
