yes most doctors suck, especially g.i docs, but i have to add one thing. the doctor in sydney gave me the home protocol and their nurse practitioner kept in contact with me over email for 6 months...
Alih, hookworm is a very interesting nd great option but you have to have patients b/c it takes a long time to help. Also, not sure what gender you are, but Im female and wanting to have babies in...
Alih, I agree you should do a lot of research before you decide to do this. The 't's did put me in a bad flare but it was because I had to go off a lot of my herbs and meds. The f.t's help with the...
thats great... I did it at home myself after seeing the doctor in Sydney. They gave me the home proptocol and I did everything they said. The only thing is I couldnt do it through colonoscopy b/c my...
Good luck cureuc! Mine is more genetic than from antiobiotics, which works in your favor... I see many people who get better from the f.t's get better if they had abused antibiotics previously. Im...
Congrats Stacy! Im moving to Sydney next week so I might do it via colonoscopy too down the road.. :) Do you have a guess how you got colitis? If it was lots of antibiotics or something like that?...
sas, how long were u able to keep the fecal matter in you for and how much? Thanks cureuc. I still recommend the f.t's even though it didnt work for me. I couldnt hold in enough long enough. Are you...
I am not any better from doing the fecal transplants... I went into a bad flare after doing them because I was off my herbs and some of my medicine. I am now doing better. I am on hydrocortisone,...
I just started VSL #3 ds a week ago. I thought it was helping a bit the first few days ( i started with one packet a day) so i increased it to two, and im not sure if its a coincidence, but I am...
I thought I would repost to start it off. Thanks 7007. I will look into them. How are you feeling? I am close in process for the Ft's as you. I am doing my 8th one today. Yesterday was my best one, I...
Thanks 7007. I will look into them. How are you feeling? I am close in process for the Ft's as you. I am doing my 8th one today. Yesterday was my best one, I got 25 mil in for almost 2 hours. Its...
7007, can you tell me how you got the worms? I thought they werent fda regulated so we couldnt get them? thanks...
Has anyone on here not gotten colitis from antibiotics? If so, can you tell me if this has helped anyone. THanks...
Thanks. Yesterday I could only hold in about 30 mil for 30 min, so it stinks. I have u.c that runs in my family, but the doc in Sydney said it was fine to use my mom as my donor since she is healthy....
I have wondered that, but there is no way to know unless they do studies on that, and I dont foresee that for a while. Since a high percentage of u.c patients have the disease in their family, this...
Day 4 and 5 were not great, got 30-50 mil in me for 30-45 min. Wasnt enough stool so was a little too liquidy. Had a lovely spasm today so that didnt help any. Getting frusterated but still feel it...
It seems like you're improving. this can take a long time for the little guys to multiply. i had a spasm last night (went 3 times in 20 minutes) which isnt horrible, but not good either. its def not...
I understand. Makes sense with your daughter. My mom is my donor, we both got tested for everything b/c sometimes you cannot detect parasites etc. I would say if it doesnt work with your daughter,...
7007, What antibiotics were you on? Im no expert, but when I talked to Sharyn about a donor, she said to use someone who eats lots of fiber and goes to the bathroom consistently once a day. Maybe you...
Yeah its hard to say. After my successful F.T yesterday, I did not use the restroom the rest of the day (very rare for me). Today I had more solid stools, but still mucus. I think it might be...
I think trying with antibiotics is a good idea, even if you were on flagyl recently. It clears a lot out and makes room for the new bugs. I am constantly in a flare with my colitis and its hard for...
Keep it up, just be positive. Im not sure the reason about curcumin and it sucks b/c I went off it too and I know it helps, but I was told from the doc in Sydney to go off it. Im assuming if the...
Day 3,much better, got about 80 mil in me for an hour. I used an enema bottle instead of the bag. Much easier and stayed in me easier. I think the hot water helped too. My stools this morning were a...
Thanks 7007, the warm water might have helped a little. The stool was too thick today so tomorrow we are going to use something different than the bags Ive been using. I only got a little today but...
Runaway, I would not recommend it if he has ibs. They say for the person to have a completely healthy digestive track. Ibs can have a lack of good bacteria for the intestinal flora as well, even if...
7007, just a suggestion, I had to go off curcumin since im doing the fecal transplant. I was suggested by the doctors in Sydney to go off it because it could interfere. Good luck to you, Im going...
By the way, I have had u.c for 11 years, Im 29 years old, female and no abuse of antibiotics, but definitely ibprofen when I was younger for fracturing my spine. I have a cousin on both sides who has...
I am new to this. I started my first F.T today. Iwent to Sydney a month ago and went to see Dr. Borodys colleague and he gave me the home protocol. The first infusion went aweful, mainly b/c I put...
I am trying the fecal transplant at home. If anyone has done it already please respond if you have any advice. Thanks...
I am trying the HPI now... I have not started hte infusions yet, still getting tested... anyone have any advice or questions/??? I saw Dr. Wettstein (Dr Borody's colleague in Sydney) and Im going off...
Hello... Ive been reading a lot on the internet and I wanted to tell a short version of my story if anyone has any question for me or advice. Ive had u.c for 11 years. Im 28 years old, female. I have...
