Guest guest Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Avis, have you printed a copy of this and given it to your aunt or friend's doctor. You said she had recurring c-difficle. It is a French word for difficult, hence the strange name. SAN ANTONIO -- " Transplanted feces from a healthy donor may be able to wipe out recurrent Clostridium difficile infection, researchers said here. Three posters presented here at the American College of Gastroenterology meeting detailing early results of fecal bacteriotherapy showed nearly 100% success rates. " In one study, 15 out of 16 patients remained disease-free after a mean five months of follow-up, according to Mark Mellow, MD, and Amy Kanatzar, MD, of INTEGRIS Health in Oklahoma City. In another, none of 12 patients had a recurrence after more than seven months of follow-up, and in a case report, two females with recurrent infection were cured.
