Stool transplant anyone?

[D Bergy]

Here is a unique treatment for a C. difficile infection involving a stool transplant.
By a doctor in my own backyard.

While it sounds really gross, I wonder if this same procedure could help with Crohn's disease. Seriously, I think I would try it if nothing else helped.

If Crohn's symptoms are caused by bacterial imbalances, then I suppose it would work.

Ultimately though, I think the genetic problems would cause the imbalance to re-occur.

If you had to repeat every month or two, I wouldn't be interested.

a year or more and I'd defiantly think about it.

that is gross to no end, but i would be willing to try it if i ever got a c dif infection that didn't respond to antibiotics. i wouldn't let them put a tube in my nose though. there's juts something icky about having someone else's stool go up your nose and down your throat. they can put a tube in my stomach.

i don't think it would help with crohn's. i think crohn's is caused by the immune system attacking the body and causing inflammation. but that's just my theory.

if it's all about good bacteria, I'd rather shove yogurt up my arse.

I've just seen a unique business opportunity!
Colonic irrigation... with yoghurt.
Just needs a bit of sensitive marketing, I think!

I'm not sure, but I think it's been done before...

Curses!
Back to the drawing board!

You haven't seen the new age internet if you think yogurt enemas are odd.

 

[Wiles]

Brings to mind another use for those tubes of yogurt!

I will never be able to eat Yogurt again. Not that I liked it much anyway.

In this case, it would be - Two girls, one pot.

I think that's the point.

That said, some people probably enjoy that kind of thing... The internet is a horrible place really.

My surgeon today suggested I consider this treatment.

Reading up a bit on it.

Guy I dealt with yesterday removed a large (ping pong ball size) cyst from between my shoulder blades that was effecting my spine.

Anyways, I'm laying on my stomach throughout this procedure, and I'm telling him about my Crohn's. Turns out he has a number of patients who have tried this, and he offered to hook me up with the doctor who does this through the auspices of the Gastro Institute at the University.

My Crohn's has gotten a lot better, but I still have the chronic diarrhea (which hasn't responded well to any treatment).

I'll have to run it by my regular GP as well as my GI first though.

Anyways, it's not really a Stool Transplant. That's for shock value.

It's more a gut flora transfer. Stuff does get distilled to a certain extent. No more creepy than a blood transfusion.
