Fecal Transplant article

Just strange but it was in our Sunday paper. Nice to see it getting some coverage. Was in our Charleston, WV paper.

I've seen a few articles on this lately too, which is what got me interested. Mostly about using it to treat c difficile but they are doing studies into treating uc with it (I am hoping to be part of one). At first the idea completely grossed me out, but after more research, it does make sense. I've always felt my gut problems arose from a flora imbalance following years traveling abroad and picking up parasites and drinking too much alcohol. I have cleaned up my ways and slowly healing but I think ft would speed up the process. I'm glad the medical community is looking into treating uc from the cause and not just treating the symptom!

Nice to see another West Virginian, Dr-A! I recently moved back to the Charleston area. I have an appointment next week to get set up with a local gastroenterologist. I've heard good things about Dr. White. Who do you see and do you know of any docs in this area that are open to the idea of fecal transplants?
