I know this is an old post but I used the Xmas discount code for uBiome. It was supposed to expired on the 10th but someone said it is still valid. There's also a 10% code on my blog if the other one...
Bobella, it's definitely not recommended to use children under three as a donor....
Canada Mark: If you take up soystud's suggestion you might be best served by following his diet too (see his sig). Try sticking to low-inflammatory foods so the newly introduced bacteria has half a...
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3868025/pdf/cogas-30-97.pdf Page 3 for UC and Crohn's. Stay tuned to the FMT stuff. Lots of things happening in this space at the moment....
pmitra0123: the link to the two page PDF is on the right of their page. For me, I would love to see some research data on the link between FMT, IBD and diet. Maybe a control group with a few groups...
If anyone is interested in FMT for Crohn's: http://journals.lww.com/jcge/Citation/publishahead/Is_Crohn_s_Disease_Ready_for_Fecal_Microbiota.98616.aspx PDF available for download on site's sidebar....
Hey Ferg, Does Dr Shepard provide you with the pills? If so, I'd love to link to his clinic from my website. Sure beats people having to make the pills at home....
Here's an odd FMT side-effect... I'm not getting zits anymore!! Very weird. But welcome. :)...
Sidd, I think you are right! My gut feels so calm it is amazing. I think I get a little emotional in my updates because of this fact. I keep thinking back to all those nights of wondering how I was...
Hi All, I'm 25 days in after the FMT capsule treatment I did. I'm actually feeling better than I felt during the first week! I've put up a progress report on my site... but it's kind of rambling and...
Ahh, yes... constipation. Boy, have you come to the right forum. I'm sure there are scores of us on here with the same 'cut and paste' stories. For me, personally, the issue has been solved by having...
Yep. I made my own fecal transplant capsules. You could try a fecal transplant enema if you are looking for similar results. Check my site for progress reports - www.gastrosolutions.org ...
Hey, don't forget we're all a work in progress, Scarlette. Even incredible amazing men like me!! ;)...
Hi Teddy, No, my children aren't diagnosed with UC just a case of gut dysbiosis (most likely due to antibiotics is my guess). As for the strep results, we saw a naturopath first to request the...
You know what, Scarlette ... the thing about this stuff is that it's a blessing and a curse. You're going to feel embarrassed about it so it will slow your socialising down and undermine your...
I just posted this on someone else's thread but I'm going to cut and paste it here ... because I'm a lazy bastard!! I had the same symptoms as you had for years. So first up I'd be looking to get a...
I'd certainly be looking for more tests to be done besides bloods. A Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis (CDSA) Test for starters. I got mine done through a large pathology lab but the test was...
Sorry to hear you're struggling there, Steven. The fact that all your tests including stool analysis is coming up blank makes things tough. Hopefully someone on the board can find similarities to...
It certainly didn't do anything for my gut dysbiosis ... even at high strength dosages for several months. That said, I was probably feeding my klebsiella overgrowth with the starches I was eating....
Grape seed extract comes from grape seeds, and has antioxidant properties. Grapefruit extract (GSE) or Cirtus Seed Extract (CSE) comes from grapefruit seeds and is used as an anti-bacterial,...
My bad. I assumed the OP was looking for the antimicrobial/antifungal. If so, you'll need CSE/GSE liquid for that. If you are just after an anti-oxidant then, yeah, you'll probably want the Grape...
Kamakya, I used Traveller's Friend but it may be an Australian brand. Not sure about your neck of the woods (whereever that may be). Also, I came across and In Vitro/In Vivo clinical study once that...
Hi Tom (met you on the IBS board), you have many of the symptoms I have been living with. I thought it was IBD but apparently it's just IBS so this board may not be entirely relevant, apart from the...
Only if I eat starches ie, rice, potatoes etc. I seem to function best on a largely fruit and veg diet. That may have something to do with the klebsiella in my system but I'm not 100% sure. I was...
Tom, I did a DIY Fecal Transplant Pill treatment at home 9 days ago. I ate a ton of food I wouldn't normally eat immediately after it (which I shouldn't have) but I think I negated a lot of this...
About 18months ago I had the same issue with my 8 year old. He was having recurrent bouts of bloody diarrhea. We freaked out. Our diet resembled yours - high protein, whole grains and little sugar....
Hi All, I did an at-home fecal transplant pill procedure for my IBS. You can read about experience here: http://gastrosolutions.org ...
Sharron, just tell him it's a fresh stool. I think most stool samples can be stored in the fridge for at least a day or two prior to analysis so it's highly likely that the bacteria will be fine for...
Thanks guys. What I'm more interested in is getting across my experience with these fecal pills. It's just so bloody simple that anyone with IBS symptoms could easily give the at-home treatment a go....
Just took the kids out to a car show. Man, I really can't stand being around people! The worst offenders being my bloody kids. Anyway, I went through the site and tried to skew it towards its...
@nicecupoftea: Haha! Don't worry about it, mate. My bad. The last thing I should be spending my time on at the moment is a website about my toiteting habits. I do get chronic intestinal inflammation...
Update: Guys, I just took the post and site offline. It had to go because not only did I manage to annoy you, I also made myself look like an idiot. Now, I can live with one of those ... but not the...
I just altered the post title on this forum too. *slinks away with tail between legs* !! :)...
Point taken. Years ago I assumed what I had was IBS but I was told by a family friend who has close experience with UC that I was showing all the signs of IBD. I will go through the site and change...
It's all good, Guardian. It just wasn't my intention to offend. Although, I am fully aware that this stuff ignites debate. I think I struggle with the fact that the rates of UC/Crohn's/IBD is...
My apologies to all if this post frustrated you. I guess it looks like someone decrying 'your way' of doing things to promote 'my way' of doing things. It's evangelical, I know. But the intention was...
I tried thirty bananas a day too. But I had to turn them into smoothies to consume that many. That made my symptoms worse so I deviated from that. That said, I tried SCD, GAPS, Paleo. I tried...
Hey, I agree, Guardian. Also the Vitamin K was meant to read K2. A supplement I used to take. Not anymore though. I also has no parasites in my gut. But my pH was alkaline at a reading of 7.6 (I...
Gut health! Seriously, Judy, I don't know. I guess it looks like I'm advocating a high-calorie fruit and vegetable diet. But there's nothing new there. Nearly every doctor in the world would be...
It made me worse at first too. But the more simplified I made it, the more things got better. Ie, I took all animal proteins out of the diet, I lost the nut intake, I wiped out all green smoothies....
Oh, man, this is exactly me. But only when I introduce fruit into a diet that already has cooked food in it. For instance, if I had fruit all day but then had a meal of rice or potato or any animal...
No, not off the top of my head. I'm sure it's on some of my blood work results. I'd go hunt them out but we've just finished moving house a few weeks ago and we still have boxes everywhere....
I know this isn't the IBD board but If anyone is at all interested... http://gastrosolutions.org/why-eating-fruit-cures-my-ibd/ I'm also going to write an update report for my 7th day post fecal pill...
I'm vegan and I just wrote a blog post about what I eat... If you're interested it can be found here: http://gastrosolutions.org/why-eating-fruit-cures-my-ibd/ ...
This might be worth read: http://thepositivepear.com/tag/klebsiella/ ...
I don't think there's any problems unless it develops into pneumonia. Like Judy said, everyone has Klebsiella, just as everyone carries E. Coli....
Judy: What kind of level is considered 'normal'? There is so little information about klebsiella out there, and what there is seems to be 'The coming Superbug epidemic' type article. I could never...
I used it for a couple of months but I'm not sure it killed all the klebsiella. Without follow up tests I can't really vouch for the treatment. Plus I did a whole lot of different things all at once....
I used to give my two boys 100ml with 4 drops of GSE in it. Even with just 4 drops it tastes disgusting ... but my kids liked it. Weird kids! I'm not totally convinced it works though. Especially...
