Sue - excellent link. Spent most of the morning checking further links and the videos - see the side bar. And still got a ways to go ! Covers many of the questions I had been formulating to put to my new gastro (the Prof, big teaching hospital here in France with a specialist gastro dept. I have a 7 hour journey to get there !)

At this time we don`t know IF this will be a route for me, apart from the diagnostic protocols to undergo first (have started them), there are the further pre-FMT protocols to be addressed. All a bit Daunting. But fascinating.

Thanks for putting it up - good one.


Molly, let us know if you do this. I am very very interested. When I saw they had clinical trials with essentially "probiotics on steroids" (FMT as purified pills), I was very excited. Still am. But too am curious about those cautions on that page.

But I'm very much a "sometimes you just gotta go for it" type of person if it seems safe, which this does.

If one does nothing, nothing happens. If one tries, then it may be a 50:50 chance, but better than not going for it, IMHO.
