Fecal Transplant

The primary use and approved application is for treatment of antibiotic resistant, chronic C. difficile infection. Everything else is off label use and experimental. So, if you can find someone to administer, it would not likely be covered by insurance.

That said, AllyKat is using it as a last chance to get out of the chronic pouchitis cycle. Here is her profile and you can check her posts. http://j-pouch.org/eve/persona...profile&u=6281040921

I did last month. I did it for 6 days. I could only hold it it for about a hour or so. I also felt awful! die off?, idk! that's why I stopped at 6. First I did a clean out with 3 weeks of xifacan. I used my son. He refused to pay to get tested! my GI wrote him a script. Not smart of me I know but I was desperate? Anyway, I've been following this up with the no carb! on sugar diet! whole goods, etc. Been doing good. I also drink a lot of homemade kefir and homemade yogurt. I think FEcal transplant is just smother tool that needs to be added to the mix.

 

I just screened for a research study at UCSF - getting one fecal transplant and its effect on my chronic pouchitis over a year. It's experimental and getting the data, but I'm hopeful! Anyone else been in FT research?
