Wow! I'm amazed at the success rate of 85-90%! I think the future is in this treatment. It makes perfect sense.
Thanks for the link.

There was another good article on topic in October issue of Discover, titled "Tap the Healing Power of Poop." http://discovermagazine.com/20...ealing-power-of-poop
As someone who suffered mightily from recurrent C. Diff. on top of UC, it's hopeful to see this issue getting attention it needs -- and to see there is promising treatment. I had heard about fecal transplants when I was sick, but even a couple years ago, it was talked about as rare and hard-to-get treatment. Now, it seems, things are changing on that front.
