Any body know if fecal transplant will help pouchitis?

It is a treatment for recurring/resistant C. difficile infection. So, unless you have that, not likely you'd be a candidate for the treatment. That said, it does make some sense, since pouchitis is felt to be ab inflammatory response to gut flora, even if there are no pathogens. But, I don't think there has been any testing in that area.

It's been tried occasionally but not well studied at all. I'd try it before abandoning my pouch, but I'd stick to well researched methods if they work reasonably well.
