Great video about using Fecal Transplant to cure Colitis caused by c. diff

Here is a quick video that briefly covers the facts about Pseudomembranous Colitis caused by Clostridium Difficile (c. diff.) bacteria and a brief overview of Fecal Transplant for which I go into greater detail.    

Bupropion as a treatment for Ulcerative Colitis

This article is about drugs that can help work with Fecal Transplants to make them more effective for Ulcerative Colitis. It grew out of several responses I have written to emails from people who have visited this site. What dramatically tipped the illness in my favor was when I started taking the anti-depressant drugs Bupropion […]

Fecal Transplant: Slow diarrhea and urgency so good bacteria can colonize

Q: How do I slow diarrhea with my case of Ulcerative Colitis? At this point I am having a hard time and there are sudden urges and bloating that I can often barely make it to the bathroom most of the time. What do you recommend I do with my diet, are their any drugs […]

I ended up NOT having any testing done, simply because I realized from my donor’s medical history and the incidence of such cases within the U.S. (epidemiology) that there was basically no chance that they had […]

How do you select a donor for Fecal Transplant?

I recently got a question from a reader about selecting a donor to do the Fecal Transplant for Crohn’s Disease or Ulcerative Colitis. Q: Can you post something about how you collected a sample from a friend?  I am mortified about the social part.  I would also like to make it the physical process as […]

Cured! By a combination of Fecal Transplant, drugs and diet

I know it’s been awhile since I last posted about my progress with Ulcerative Colitis. Fortunately I have some great news to report. I did the fecal transplants / infusions every single day for about 5 weeks. At first I started to get a little better but then eventually started to get worse again, although […]

Update on Fecal Transplants

I have now done 15 days of the Fecal Transplants. This is a much longer course than some people recommend, however I believe it might be necessary considering what they root cause might be. Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) bacteria has been implicated as a likely cause of Crohn’s disease and it might also be a […]
