Lorraine,
I do believe the fecal transplant could be a good option for people with some bowel issues not associated with C. difficile. I have always felt this could be worthwhile for many kids on the autism-spectrum. I talked to a fecal transplant specialist a few years ago who admitted it would be helpful, but he wouldn’t even consider it for someone who didn’t have C. difficile. He wasn’t willing to take the risk professionally. That would be my advice. People can do their own research. There is a website called the Power Of Poop that has a lot of information – http://www.powerofpoop.com. What I would say is no matter how it is done the donor needs to be screened. This is discussed in the clostridia module of GI Mastery.Sincerely,
Dr. Woeller -
