Hate to say this after you completed the test. But according to the experts such as Borody and other flora experts, There's no place in the world that can test flora. They can check for known...
fruitgirl your super naive if you think doctors went to school & learned alot of stuff. They learned to look through there drug manuals and prescribe the drugs the drug companies told them too....
How do you contact other people on this forum and send them a private mssg. Is it possible? I'd be interested. I do understand some of the replies. I can relate to being sick and having snake oil...
you can buy saline in the drug store. I would recommend it. Because its salt water, it really gets sucked up into the colon well. I kinda demo'd this procedure, and had a great infusion with saline...
If flagyl is your only option. It does have some bad side effects. But guess what.. super powerful antibiotics that destroy your intestinal flora cause bad effects. I'm certain all of them 100% do....
The way we think, it makes sense to use antibiotics. But it hasn't always been necessary. I'd take Vancomycin if I was you. Not too sure about Flagyl, but Vanco is considered the most powerful...
I suggest fasting as much as u can before. You want your existing flora weak and practically dieing imop. Juice fast for a bit, which is basically like no fiber. Then switch to a water fast and try...
deltaforce, "Yes, everyone hates them but without their medications, we would have a tough time" Would you still feel the same way if these pharma companies were the cause of most cases of UC, IBS,...
There's a definite corelation between disease & mood disorders, depression. Speaking personally, its hard to stay positive & be a happy person when your battling health issues. So I see where she's...
have you tried a fecal transplant. Using yourself as a donor. Might be the best treatment option for her....
"FMT by a single colonoscopic donor stool application is not effective" Thats their conclusion ! Haven't read second link yet. But I'm pretty sure everyone already knows this. Borody says it can take...
according to Thomas Borody, these tests are useless. They can only culture .1% of flora, meaning they can only test 0.1% of your flora. According to Borody there is currently no place in the world to...
maybe you have a good donor too. Would you donor be willing to do the process again for a nice sum of cash :)...
hey mackster, did they provide a donor for you? thanks...
Don't be discouraged. They only repeated this 3 days?? Borody himself has said some UC patients take 30 +, so I personally wouldn't expect great results with only 3 days treatment. Don't get why they...
set that position up as good as you can. Using pillows, maybe put some books under one side of a couch or something to elevate it. I really believe using gravity is a big plus. You could probably be...
I have experience with this. I actually think the best method is using en enema bag and makeing the solution pretty watery using the saline. Alot of people try to make a thick solution and then...
In my personal experience, doctors are nimrods. I think most people should go to multiple doctors to try & get an accurate diagnosis and then just do your own research, everything the doctors tell...
A know a fair bit about this procedure and it sounds like you've done ur homework also Briggs. I would recommend eating whatever foods are safe in the short term, then slowly build up ur diet from...
Look into fecal transplants imop. IF you decide to do one put everything you have into it. Thats my advice. The treatment from the best of my knowledge has never had any major side effects or...
If there's no visable signs of UC then I think you can rule that out. IF its digestive issues I believe your son probably has bad intestinal flora. Unfortunately there's no place in the world that...
have you looked into FMT .. or fecal transplants? I would at least consider that option before surgery GL...
healthy people can never understand what someone with a particular disease has to endure. I'd be more inclined to give this person a pass if they are fairly young. I think all young people are...
Just wondering cause I've never had one, I'm self diagnosed really. But I know I should get one. The thing is here in Canada I go to my family doctor & he will refer me to a GI doc, & that...
np I think it really explains some of the science that is going on with IBD patients. Although seeing how they can only culture .1% of flora as they say in the video, they have a long long way to go...
http://www.voiceamerica.com/episode/56218/fecal-bacteriotherapy-with-dr-thomas-borody Just my opinion of course. But I've never seen or heard things about flora, & FMT explained so well. Borody is a...
Banana, The reason this procedure works is because stool is recycled flora. Its really not that important what your donor eats. The experts advise the donor to eat lots of fiber, because that feeds...
sorry to be a downer. But in my opinion, don't donate anything. Don't get me wrong charity has great intentions. But these organizations are all muppets. The chrohns/colitis foundation in Canada...
banana, you said you haven't done a FT in several days. I'd recommend doing just a plain water enema or colonic before your next one. The idea is to clear out space so the FT has the least amount of...
Bananagirl, You should juice occasionally and try to have things like smoothies if your having trouble eating. Juicing is a much more efficient way for your body to absorb vitamins. People have juice...
banana, if I read you right you plan on doing a transplant with no donor just probiotics? If that is the case I believe you are wasting your time. Human intestinal flora has 500+ species & 30,000 sub...
I have a ? for anyone who has done a FT and some comments. Dr Borody insists on using antibiotics, his former colleague Bianca James seems to think it works better without. My understanding of the...
The diseases that can be transmitted through feces can always be transmitted by sexual fluid, and possibly blood. Honestly, everyone just gets freaked out because stool is unpleasant. We let our...
I just want to add something. I've spoken to the "experts" Freshness means alot. Many of the bacteria in the colon cannot survive in oxygen. The second it exits the body, bacteria starts dying. As...
To Suebear, You haven't confirmed anything. Does genetics play a role in disease, absolutely. However I can list off at least 10 drugs within 2 minutes that are currently facing legal action because...
All the discussion about the complexities of this & that is a moot point. The OP is 100% bang on. They are keeping us sick, the drug companies spend more money on advertising than they do on...
Look into fecal transplant. Thats your best shot at regaining your health imop...
Glad to hear its working. I really hope if this continues to work we can spread the word & help alot of people, and also costs the drug companies & doctors money. The response your GI had was...
You could test there stool for other diseases, parasites, pathogens etc. You could also test the level of good bacteria in there stool. Personally, I wouldn't have either tested, and would feel safe...
I'd probably say the 6 year old. Alittle older is better. However I assume you feel very safe using either. So you have a backup, cause kids usually aren't regular, and you may not be able to count...
I have to agree with subdued. First off, when people are talking genetics, that just means your more predisposed to a condition than others. If lung cancer is strong in your family history, you are...
yes I though of that. Just no good candidates in my close family. This is frustrating...
http://www.probiotictherapy.com.au/pages/contact.html IF you look over their prices... they are insane ! I figure flying to Australia would cost around 25k ! I could advertise in the paper, but I...
Toronto.. Wish they had donor banks for this like they do for blood...
bumb...
good idea icboi88. If anyone knows anyone in the ontario area, I'd be willing to offer thousands for assistance. ty...
I second that. Finding a donor is very challenging. Most people are gonna think you are crazy....
I'd like to add then that my comment came from a place of anger. Really you can't make a blanket statement like that about any profession. The system is at fault also. The doctors get research papers...
you don't need a doctor alih. People are doing it from home. Just an enema is really all you have to do. Doctors are drug dealers imop, and I believe the overuse of antibiotics is the main cause for...
just want to add that I don't agree with using antibiotics before hand. Borody's former colleague believes the procedure works best without antibiotics. If I had my own child I would try it with...
