Hi, all! I have just done 5 days of FMT in Tampa with Dr. Shepard. I don't have c.dificile, but they were able to assist to test this as a potential treatment for Spondylitis.

The following week I had one flare, but this may have been due to a shrimp allergy.

Dr. Shepard was just mentioned in a New York Times article:http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/07/06/why-i-donated-my-stool/

I used their in-house donor (glad I didn't know who it was). Completely easy and painless.

The doctor said to give this 4-9 weeks to establish (like regrowing a forest in intestines). I'll keep everyone posted.

I have been eating some starch (sweet potatoes and some rice). My worry was I need to feed the good bacteria now. No gluten at all, and no sugar.

I'm hoping this brings some answers to us soon!
