Update

Postby shabhu » Tue May 12, 2015 7:43 pm

Just wanted to Update.

I had FMT on November of last year near chicago IL using donor stool that hospital provided, and subsequently am doing fine. I did have constipation issues post FMT but I have been eating 300 grams of Brocolli Cauliflower and Carrots medley every day with lots of water. With this and coffee I have one normal good BM daily.

I had to take augmentin again for 14 days for sinus infection and also PPI for 2 weeks for Acid reflux. and luckily everything is still fine. I am still paranoid wash my hands like crazy and cook food with gloves.

If any one has any questions please pm me on here. I should get an email and I will respond back. I know this forum helped me, and would definitely not mind volunteering information to anyone that wants more.

Good luck

So glad your FMT was a success. Until they find the cure I think it should be a first line treatment or at least second in line instead of making people suffer so much. So happy for you and keep us posted.

Awesome! I wish my recovery was as nice as yours.

I'm still going 3-4x a day, loose stools, urgency. Unfortunately, I'm constipated in the sense that I feel the need to use the bathroom but nothing comes out. I also can't tolerate fiber, when I eat it I get super gassy, loose stools and depression.

Hoping this doesn't continue. Please keep updating on your progress!
