What I find quite strange reading all the posts on this thread is that none of you it seems have been tested for Obstructed Defecation Syndrome by way of a Defecating Proctogram. It seems obvious to...
Any updates from anyone who has tried faecal transplantation? Octobergirl - may I ask where the doctor who did you initial infusion via colonoscopy is please?...
Anyone got any updates on these retention enemas. Quite a few people said they would let us know how they got on but we hardly heard from them again so it would be great to hear....
cc Montana - thanks for posting, a very interesting story. You could have had a herxheimer reaction to the VSL#3 which means it is doing some good as you supect. I assume that you have taken VSL#3...
Dr Stone - thanks for the info. However, I have read all 5 parts of this very long thread and I don't recall coming across anyone who has gotten permanently worse from Faecal Transplantation. I have...
Dr Stone - welcome to the thread. The gut microbiome is made up of trillions of bacteria with at least over 500 different strains, most of which have not yet been identified and hence the only source...
7007 - You asked whether you should do it when you are sick? Easy for me to say I know but I would have thought that you should as theoretically the new bacteria will help your body get better. Your...
7007 - I have a copy of Borody's Home Infusion Protocol which you can have if you can think of a way to contact me. Anyway, he suggests to take Immodium if you have trouble retaining the infusion. He...
MOMUC19 - thanks for the post. Did your daughter have antibiotics beforehand? How much stool did you use? How much saline did you use? How many infusions did you give your daughter and did it have...
7007 - many thanks for posting. I am very pleased to hear that you are trying faecal transplantation. I hope it works for you and would be very grateful if you could keep us updated with your...
I too am reading "They Can't Find Anything Wrong". I am only half way though at the moment so cannot give it a full review. Thus far there is not much mention of digestive disorders, I was hoping...
Have you heard of Dr Stephen Wangen? He cured himself of IBS. I have read his book and it is very good. His webiste is here:- it might be worth a try. Good luck....
I am familiar with Dr Sarno's work and have just read 2 of his books. I was recommended to his work by someone who cured himself of IBS. You may like to contact Dr Sarno as he will know of other...
Ironmum - I am sorry to hear of your illness. I am equally sorry that I am not able to offer any answers to your questions. However, I would be grateful if you could keep us updated on your progress...
Hi everyone. No posts to this thread lately which is a shame. Can anyone give us some updates on how things are going please? Have any of you tried FT for the first time?...
Tankor - did you try the procedure? Any updates from others please?...
Hi All, It has been sometime since anyone posted here so I thought I would ask for an update from anyone, especially those of you who tried the VSL#3 enema and one of you who tried using kefir. And...
G20Man - you could have Diverticula Disease. Or you could have Obstructed Defecation Syndrome caused by a Rectal Intussusception which can only be determined by a test called a defecating proctogram....
Snowinokinawa - thanks for posting. Please keep us updated with your progress. When you were treated by Borody why didn't he make sure you had 'all your ducks in alignment' because I thought he had a...
BarcaFan said... I did my first yesterday before bed. 1 cup of water with one sachet of VSL#3 orally and 1 cup of distilled water with one sachet of VSL#3 by enema. After the enema - 10 minutes on...
Earlybirdspecial - good luck with the VSL#3 enema and let us know how it goes. Maybe you have tried, but if not you may be interested in the following:- Low Dose Naltraxone and the Specific...
Berkuc - if you do then check out Borody's protocolto make sure it was saline rather than distilled. I wouldn't want to send you down the wrong route although I am pretty certain it was saline....
Lynn4221 - thanks for posting this. I used VSL#3 for 2 months but it did nothing for me but that doesn't mean it won't help you. I have also read in several places that it is not the amount of...
Berkuc - my understanding is that the point about using saline versus tap water has nothing to do with whether either is clean or not, it is to do with how the water reacts with the probiotics and...
IChaseFrisbees - sorry to hear that your donor has a virus. I think this is a reminder that we must make sure our donors really look after themselves during the donation stage. I hope that you will...
Lynn4221 - did you see my earlier question to you please?...
Pokesmom, you rock! There are at least 2 other threads on these boards about this. One is using a man made probiotic called VSL#3 here...
Just a thought, I read or heard somewhere recently but can't remember where that sterile saline water is much better for enema infusions because normal water makes the probiotics explode. Not sure if...
Thanks for your considered reply, very useful....
Anyone ever tried Low Dose Naltraxone for IBS as I have read that it is a wonder drug?...
Barcafan - I think you would be very wise to get your donor tested. Metametrix are a good lab and I suspect you wouldn't need a doctor to order it. Keep up posted with your progress please....
IChasefrisbees - well done for starting, that is good news. I think that everyone has problems initially doing the infusion so no doubt you will improve. Are you using a syringe like Runcycle did?...
I often get nauseous before, after or during a bowel movement. This doesn't happen all the time but it does happen on a fairly regular basis. I have searched various health forums and have come...
Stef17 - I know this post is a couple of years old now but I am wondering if you (or anyone else) found a solution to this problem as I am suffering from the same thing?...
Runcycle - thanks for the info. How long did you retain the infusion for? How much did you put in, was it just one syringe full? Sorry for dumb question but where do you get distilled water from? Did...
Runcycle - thank you so much for your very informative post. Great news that you are experiencing some positive results. Can you advise how you prepare the faeces and how you infuse it please?...
IChasefrisbees - ok, good luck and keep us posted. I will be following your progress with great interest....
To IChasefrisbees - seems like a good plan you have got going there. You may like to consider Absorb Plus instead of Vivonex Plus; I don't have first hand experience of either but I thought you may...
debdee - if you read the whole of this thread bearing in mind it is in 3 parts you will come across Borody's protocol. Basically it consists of antibotics, fecal infusion by colonoscopy or via a...
Killcolitis - I paid 300 Australian dollars....
Hi All, I am sorry if I gave the wrong impression. When I was speaking to Prof Borody I was talking to him about my specific condition and Human Probiotic Infusion in general and its effects on all...
Hi All, This thread has been running for a couple of years or so, hence it is now "Part III". I have just read it all over the past couple of days and I wanted to add my well meaning thoughts. BTW I...
