Fecal Transplant - think I'm going to try it

Oh man! that is always bad if it genetic. Last 5 generstions in my family have had bowel cancer but i think this may be different.

I will keep you updated!! My specialist believe it or not!! He doesnt think it will work but is going to give it a go anyway! It took abit to talk him around, but i didnt even ask him to do a colonoscopy for me, just to give me the things i needed at home so that was really nice of him!

Hello

I am intrigued by the idea of a Fecal Transplant possibly helping me and was looking for some advice. I have a huge problem with food, i can hardly eat anything and if i go off my very strict diet it causes an auto immune response that cause inflammation in my joints and damage.
I have been diagnosed with zero negative Rheumatoid then Lymes disease bla bla, they have no idea.
I am wondering if a fecal transplant could help my allergies?? How do you do it at home and is there any chance it can make you worse? My only concern is the leaky gut problem, will the feces leak into your blood stream causing a reaction?
Ive done the tests i do not digest my food, i have leaky gut and had some bacterial infections.

Can any advice because if there is a chance this will help me i have 2 very healthy little girls that have never had antibiotics and im all for using their poop as gross as that sounds:o)

Thanks in advance.

Alih, I agree you should do a lot of research before you decide to do this. The 't's did put me in a bad flare but it was because I had to go off a lot of my herbs and meds. The f.t's help with the bacterial imbalance so you should talk to a holistic or naturopathic doctor to see if it could help you. I have the protocol if you want it, but I really would suggest you do lots of research before jumping into it. Its gross and very hard to do. It also puts a lot of stress on the body with the antibiotics and etc. It can do great things for people and Im a fan even though it hasnt worked for me yet, but like i said it entails a lot. And the docs in Sydney told me not to use a childs poop, an adult is better. Hope this helps a little.

Thank you for the replies. I have done a bunch of research after posting my question. It's facinating and I want to do this but without antibiotics. I can not seem to find as of yet someone that will do it in my area, San Diego so I'm looking into doing it at home. There is a doctor in the Bronx but have not had any luck getting a hold of him. I am still.learning about all this and have a doctor in Tijuana looking into it, he does Helminthic Therapy (infecting oneself with hookworm). I'll keep.reading and looking for a way. Thanks again.

you don't need a doctor alih.
People are doing it from home.
Just an enema is really all you have to do.

Doctors are drug dealers imop, and I believe the overuse of
antibiotics is the main cause for the majority of C-diff, Uc, chrohns, and
IBS patients. So they are the cause. Why give them more business &
more money.

I wish everyone would stop giving doctors any business whatsoever.
Lab testing is there only use imop. Get lab testing to properly identify the health
condition, and do your own research from that point is my health advice to
everyone in Canada or the US.

yes most doctors suck, especially g.i docs, but i have to add one thing. the doctor in sydney gave me the home protocol and their nurse practitioner kept in contact with me over email for 6 months after the procedure. Those doctors are not in it for the money because if they were they never would have given me the home protocol for me to do myself.

did this work??? please let me know if this has worked for anyone. I'm going on 9yrs of this "crap" everyday. all I take is pain meds and probiotics (probiotics as of two weeks ago). Feeling like I'm just waiting for disaster and I'm considering the fecal transplant. Have accepted the fact I have accidents all the time and its depressing. Can't go anywhere without worry. thanks

Adventureuc, what is the SCD that you are currently taking? What prep did you use? Instructions and such... When you quit the Uceris were you having symptoms again? Is that why you decided to do the FT? Also, did anyone else have terrible joint inflammation in their knee with this condition? If so did you notice that it was gone or better after the FT?

Admitted to hospital in 2010 with pneumonia and sinus infection. Left and developed terrible diarrhea..was tested positive for C-diff. They gave me 1 round of Flagyl then two rounds of Vanco. I tested negative but was still having symptoms. Went to GI doctor to get colonoscopy and endoscopy. Was then diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis but was told there was NO Cdiff. They put me on Sulfasalazine plus probiotics and prednisone...as long as I was on the steroid I was fine..when the steroid was over the Sulfa did not work for me. So they put me on Asecol...during this time I began having joint inflammation terribly in my right knee ..swelling and could not walk. After a while on the Asecol and it not working they then wanted to do a study on me. I decided to go to Cleveland Clinic.. They did a stigmoid on me and said it does indeed look like Ulcerative Colitis. They then put me on Lialda and Uceris. As long as I was on the Uceris I had no symptoms. Two weeks after I was off of them the symptoms returned. BUT I was also still severely swollen in my knee and in terrible pain...went to doctor and they did an MRI of knee thinking that it was possible just the colitis but wanted to be sure..they said my meniscus was torn and needed surgery...Went in for surgery and the doctor put me back on Uceris for 60 days to get UC under control while healing from surgery..the symptoms did not respond to the Uceris this time...I continued to take them and heal but my knee did not stop swelling...I had surgery on July 30 and it is still swollen. Went back to doctor and he said it was not normal and that it was probably from UC. :( I forgot to take my Lialda for two days and strangely my symptoms left...no diarrhea...I have no idea if this is because I stopped the Lialda or if it is because the UCERIS suddenly is working? :/ My knee is still swollen so they gave me a steroid pack and it helped alot..but as soon as the steroid was out of my system for the knee, you guessed it...the swelling went back up again and I am not working. I have NO idea what to do..who to turn to but God...It seems no one really knows what to do...I am exhausted and willing to try anything...My family needs me to help them and I have not been able to really work in so long :(
