Anybody ever come across a list of negative side effects?
I know there are a few reports of minor negative side effects from fecal transplants in clinical trials for C-diff - and a few (very few) reports of UC patients needing their colon's removed shortly after (~90 days) when used in some IBD trials. There are also some hospital case reports of home FT patients having severe flares after doing the home version.
So this got me wondering about C-diff trials... If anyone undergoing FT for C-diff ever developed an IBD like symptom? I doubt it - for lot's of reasons. Was just curious though.
Or maybe some of the old papers for FT (1950's) would have some negative effects listed as maybe they didn't screen donors so much back then.
Also it get's me thinking again that maybe a portion of Ulcerative Colitis patients might have some sort of secondary infection (viral/bacterial) that is keeping making their symptoms worse... Maybe they really don't need to have their colon's removed or more immune suppression given, perhaps they just need to be tested for a secondary infection... but how or where would one even go for this...
Just thinking out loud and was curious if anyone has ever bumped into anything.
