Leaky Gut and fatigue -- Dave

That is very interesting and dovetails with something my hep was telling me:

They are doing

a clinical trial using vancomycin to treat PSC in adults.

Vancomycin was given to pediatric patients who had C. difficile present in their

gut. These

patients also had PSC. They administered high doses of vancomycin and their LFTs

dropped

like a stone. I can't recall if these patients also had IBD or not, but I can

ask Dr. Pratt about it

when I see him in July. The one thing I do recall him saying was the thought was

that the

bacteria had permeated the gut and been picked up by the liver where it caused

the PSC to

start.
