Reply to "Something Besides Pouchitis?"

This is definitely easier for the donor than donating a kidney! It's not a huge ask, but the 4-hour drive makes it bigger. One question to ask would be whether their protocol permits the donor to stop making the trip after the initial one, and how many trips are actually required. As Jan suggested, fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) is generally reserved for recurrent C diff, rather than a case that just took too darn long to diagnose. FMT seems to be remarkably effective for C diff, but it's usually wise to be cautious with fairly new procedures.
