Now we are seeing progress!

Science Daily Article

"Results showed that, 78 percent subjects achieved clinical response within one week while 67 percent subjects maintained clinical response at one month after FMT. Thirty-three percent subjects did not show any symptoms of ulcerative colitis after FMT. Patient's clinical disease activity (PUCAI score) significantly improved after FMT compared to the baseline. No serious adverse events were noted. One of the 10 subjects could not hold the enema."

I wonder if these would work, or maybe even work better, once a patient is in remission? In other words, to really keep them there long term.

I'm telling you, the power is in the poop.

Yes, My GI has said he will do FT if I can't maintain remission without using enema daily for few months! It's been two months on enema's, I'm waiting to find out what next. I'm in remission on enema's and I was on supps as well, and have been for three years. He thinks I should get longer remission without using
Enemas as often. Idk I want FT

this does seem to be some of the best quality FT evidence so far. no endoscopic verification, but an objective measure, and exclusion of c.diff.

although with n=9 and 20% not improving it does beg a larger study. the results of the Canada trial will be interesting
