FMT update

after almost 2 months of no issues at all i thought i got it under control until yesterday. blood and mucus returned, i have normal one or two bms a day but seeing blood seriously upset me. so i am back to every day ft and adding tumeric, s elm and lglutamine. don't want to discourage anyone who starting fts but just be prepared ito dance - you know, one step forward two steps back

thanks Maxmilian, i think it's nuts i've had a lot lately, plus my son had a little operation on monday and hospitals are always stressful especially with young kids. i will try to take it back under control and stay away from nuts from now on

NUTS !!!!!! are you ...................... you know, NUTZ ?????????

yup, I just can't do em - tried and tried, but just like that one girl in high school, not a chance !

hang in there and keep after it -

"feel so stupid right now"

join the crowd - - I know I've gone way overboard a few times - just wanna feel normal sometimes - like Joanna said, not uc normal but real normal -

same thing maxmilian, blood and mucus nothing else, so hopefully i caught it early enough to stop with daily fts. did you start yours yet?

hey delt - how are you and your son doing ?

Didn't you go to Borody's clinic for FMT? Did you contact them and ask what up with this?
One FMT and done? I thought, you need to go through multiple ones so that intestinal flora is colonized before you go ' off' it.

The CDD is pretty much useless to be honest. They don't understand FMTs and are using the method to treat desparate patients (me included). Hence why they get you to sign the waiver form if the procedure makes you worse or has no benefit.

Not saying what they are doing is wrong per se, but just telling it as it is. After I told them I got worse from their FMTs, the G.I (won't name names but there are only two GIs at the CDD and I didn't see Thomas) just said, take Metamucil... The nurse (Sharyn) told me that it was the FMT just settling in. I said how long will the FMT take to 'settle in' and she said 'who knows'.

They are making money off the ignorant.

thank you Maxmilian for saying that i honestly thought i am the only one they wouldn't direct in any way or talk treatment options. it like production line: you have a 5 min talk with the guy about innovations in medicine not related to your condition, then have colonoscopy, then out comes the nurse who would not say much about your results just gives you a piece of paper with images and few comments about the colon, protocol for FMT and you are on your own.
ctech, we are talking about poop transplant or Fecal microbiota transplantation, i am learning lingo too so dumb questions are the norm i guess

Sorry to hear about your persistant bleeding delta. That must be very frustrating. Maybe the bacteria isnt sticking because of possible inflammation. Maybe try to stem the inflammation first by starting the salofalk enemas or a short course of prednisone? (Have you used prednisone before?)

I think stopping the FMTs for now might be best. Stay positive, you will overcome this!

I would suggest suppositories but perhaps see what your GI thinks.
