Just drank 1/2 cup warm fecal bacteria

Hi Oldmike,

There is nothing in you signature line. Are you on any 5 ASA or have you tried Imuran or anything like that?

Good luck on your probiotic, you deserve all the best in this world, you've truly have helped out here! Hugs and BlessingS!

Do you bleed? Do you have urgency? Just wondering. I'm doing ok so far, but my stools are nowhere near normal! I still am going to try Imuran.

Old Mike!!! I was just eating a potatoe cake with a glass of wine and thought to myself Hey let's go see what's happening on the poo forum.

Well you got me there. Cant handle the potatoe cake and had to wash that with wine to digest your title. x

Farthest have gone with low carb is SCD,all it did for me was I lost weight. Tried it 3 times.
If I supplement with arginine I get worse, meat and nuts are loaded with arginine,what I get from that is reduce protein/meat/fish/soy and high nitrate veggies.
This should reduce NO.
Just came off two weeks no wheat,but rice no difference.
Also came off of no dairy, might see some differene not sure.
Best so far,no/low veggie oils,plus take fish oil.
Low no veggie oils also means no processed baked goods,fried foods,ect.
Coconut and limited olive oil.
Old Mike

So you haven't had a colonoscopy since '82 ???

I visualized that. And I kind of had a eugh! and a funny face on. Lord that was fun reading. Hope it works -or at least does something.

Old Mike said...
That is correct.
Is it stupid,yes,might it kill me,yes.
I still refuse the procedure.
Old Mike

you refuse a colonoscopy?!?!? .....


why? It's a simple procedure. I had it done with sedation and without. It's no thing.

lol, I saw that you posted it and I figured you didn't go the route of a pooshake but I admit, I was interested to see the content.

Hope it works out for you.

Someone on this forum actually did drink a proper poo shake made from diluted poo, by the way. It's the only thread I remember from last year.

Have you tried a gluten free diet? Apparently there's celiacs patients and then there's people with gluten sensitivity where they don't get the inflammation in the ville of the small intestine (hope I got that info right) but plenty of people are gluten sensitive and didn't realize it until they too gave up gluten and although they don't actually have celiacs disease, they found complete relief from the symptoms of being sensitive to gluten...this is what I'm also going to try...I've been tested for celiacs everytime I saw a new GI (4 times) now and it came back negative every time yet I have almost all the same symptoms that gluten sensitive people have. They say if you have at least 4 of the symptoms you may be gluten sensitive.

There is no medical test for gluten sensitivity like there is for celiacs which is why you have to try going gluten free to see if your symptoms go away..here are the symptoms I recall off the top of my head;

brain fog
headaches/migraines
acne issues
eczema
bloating/belly aches
D and/or C
acid reflux/heatburn issues
anxiety/depression/irritable

Apparently these conditions can be brought on by having gluten sensitivity and it can appear right out of the blue at any age.

Old Mike,

Just curious....I remember you saying your son has a j pouch. Does he ever bug you to have surgery? I just remember my sister begging me all the time (she's a long time j poucher) to have surgery.

Old Mike- what is the 15 strain probiotic your son now takes? Did your son experience much in the way of pouchitis with the jpouch, and have probiotics helped keep that at bay? For any jpouchers reading this- are probioticor other enemas harder, or easier, to take, without a colon, then wi a colon? If nothing else, an enema would cover 100% of a pouch vs the issue of just treating a small portion of the colon.
