Hi everyone. 5 years remission for anyone following. Wishing everyone all the best. Pete...
Just a quick update for this thread. I am still in remission for just a little over 4 years now. No changes with my stools or frequency. Wishing everyone all the best in these very trying times. Pete...
Hi letstryit I would do everything possible to get the inflammation down before attempting fmt. What is the use of going to all the trouble of fmt if the colon is going to immediately expel it or the...
Hi everyone. Just a quick update for anyone still following this thread. Today is 3 years since I commenced fmt. I am still going very well since....
A big yes. Leave the likes for Facebook and other social media sites. Sorry Quincy, my last post was a tongue in cheek response. ...
If that is true, I certainly do hope for all our sakes, that we are rewarded for our posts in order to keep the forum reputable. The "like" system is meant to reward ongoing contributors. It's...
Isn't everyone's point of view of their own UC treatment as important as the next persons and their posts shouldn't be made felt less relevant? A like/dislike button may be counterproductive to the...
Hi Maria Maria Sorry I rarely visit the forum to see your question. I did over four months of daily fmt's. I did this for so long because there is no definitive data and clinical studies show...
Hi everyone, a quick update for anyone following. Tomorrow will be the second year anniversary since I had commenced fmt. I have had no return of the fatigue or eczema that I suffered for years and I...
Hi Maria. I wish you all the best and success with your fmt treatments. Please do keep us updated. Cheers Pete :)...
Hi Sharron it makes me happy to hear you are doing so well. I too am seldom on this board as happens to many members when they are feeling great but I do look in every now and again. Don't be too...
Hi all. Just thought I would give a quick update to those who follow fmt progresses. I am still in remission since commencement of at home fmt early last year. My recent calprotectin test is16mg/kg....
Please keep us updated UC_Hater and congrats on your 3 years :)...
Your brother, excellent!...
I don't think anyone will know that answer for you @LoLil. Did your doctor suggest a bacterial infection with your cold? I would be reluctant to use antibiotics for a cold but given your situation...
I am so hopeful for new therapies now that OpenBiome/Finch Therapeutics is partnering with Takeda Pharmaceuticals. Using the term therapy is obviously safer financially. I am really dumb when it...
Perhaps a personal interest in faecal transplants by Mark Smith may give a reason in the interest for a "cure"? Takeda partners with an upstart drugs-from-bugs microbiome player inspired by a fecal...
A leaky gut for one reason or another may account for vegans with UC?...
Congratulations on your 1st year anniversary NSSG 😊...
Medic, I have suffered from these painful spasms over the years. I have never had an abscess in my life and only recently diagnosed UC a year ago now. My mother who didn't have UC also suffered from...
Mike you may have been onto something with baking soda and Crohn's Disease a few years ago. http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=17&m=2866218 Did you realise at the time when you...
LOL@Soy! Talk about bursting my bubble. I was trying to spread a little *positivity* and there you go again, wreaking havoc on my *positivity*...
When people get on your nerves.... 1. Smile 2. Fart 3. Walk Away...
I am excited for you Sharron and you deserve every good moment in life that comes your way. You have worked so hard at this for so long. This disease and meds have taken it's toll on you both...
I am so happy to see you here Curl and still in remission. Thank you for keeping us updated on your progress as I had read most of your past posts and wondered about you. Sharron, great to hear you...
Congratulations Pak for finding something that works for you and sharing it with us....
Q. Have you benefited from UC? A. No way! https://youtu.be/FhV_TxWEId8 ...

Would it be possible to purchase a soft reusable rubber enema bulb and tranfer the contents of the accordion enema into it? It is hard enough trying to be a contortionist without the hassle of trying...
Poppie, it sounds like the one FMT had done it's job to wipe out the infection of what ever bacteria was causing you to be extremely ill. May have possibly been C.Diff afterall, requiring just the...
Hey Poppie hoping your holiday has been a relaxing time for you and your family. All the best Peter...
Present Sir...
Surprisingly the cabbage juice didn't cause me gas. Just like the SCD, it didn't work for me either....
:yeah: me 2 weeks of cabbage juice cure :rolleyes:...
All the best for your surgery and a speedy recovery...
Hi UBTough, sorry that my responses have so far been only to Poppie because of her current health situation and I am very concerned. I did the FMT at home with the help of my donor whilst my UC was...
Poppie are you able to print out in full the following study in The New England Journal of Medicine article "Duodenal Infusion of Donor Feces for Recurrent Clostridium difficile" and take it with you...
What IamCurious said above. Also, I used Wellbutrin/Bupropion this year and had no issues at all with it....
I am so sad to hear this Poppie, I was really hoping things were going to turn around for you. If there is anything you or hubby need to ask about FMT please ask away as there are a few of us here...
Poppie are you looking for Sharron's current FMT thread? http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&m=3066732&p=016 ...
Poppie, I remember having some nights of sweats to the point I was saturated at the beginning of FMT and I put it down to herxing. I did a quick google search of "herxing vancomycin" and see others...
David, you are the best for sticking by Poppies side. Thank you for the update and sorry I can't give you any advice on antibiotic treatment. I believe antibiotic abuse over the years got me to where...
Good to hear OM. Hopefully everything progresses well for him....
Wishing you well!...
Thank you for keeping us updated on your progress solomani. Hopefully the healing continues. Cheers Pete...
Thanks for the link Mark :)...
Congratulations and hope that this stem cell therapy works out for you in the long term. I don't know much about stem cell research but I am very excited for you. Resetting the immune system may be...
