Guest guest Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'm curious about this too. Especially if C Diff ever became an issue, it seems like a disgusting, but intelligent solution.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Hi ; Actually my DAN brought up the procedure a few years back... There are quite a few studies on it's effectiveness in treating c. diff, and I've read quite a few " testimonials " from people with IBS, and ulceritive colitis etc who have tried it with success in (permanently) overcoming symptoms. I think it is more common/accepted in Europe. I know my child would not tolerate an enema though - Kim > > > I'm curious about this too.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hi Jeanne; Thanks for your feedback. Here are a couple of links discussing the success of the procedure - you may have already stumbled across them: http://www.the-scientist.com/news/display/57795/ http://www.cbc.ca/news/health/story/2007/11/13/fecal-transplant.html I've also been reading a lot of anecdotal stories of success from people suffering from IBS and colitis who have done the procedure themselves. Really makes you wonder how this procedure could help our kids' inflamed guts. And I know c diff is a chronic issue for lots of our kids.
