Well, looks like in the U.S., the FDA has only approved this (in a clinic) for C diff.

Not prepared to go the DIY just yet, though there is a doctor in my town who screens and consults, maybe I'll go have a chat with him.

Think I will start with a conversation with my GI doc first, see if he wishes he could do it or if he thinks I'm crazy, go from there.

And then too I'll see what my rheumy thinks about it. He was the one who told me, "I think all spondyloarthropathies start in the gut." Mine certainly did.

As for doing it, maybe the doctor will encourage me to give DIY a shot....maybe I'll wait til the FDA realizes this is a better option then being on strong meds ones whole life?

Interesting none the less.
