I had Colitis and had a complete Colectomy with J-pouch in 2004. In 2012 I cracked a rib and went on Antibiotics for Pneumonia, and after developed what I thought was Pouchitis. My Surgeon did testing and said that I may have been misdiagnosed and that he believed that I had Chrons to begin with. I have been in constant pain for over a year now with sever cramping and wrenching. I discussed Probiotics with my Dr. and he said that he was all for them. I discussed Fecal Transplants with him, and he told me that he would fully support that if it was something that I wanted to try. He told me that Kaiser was going to be using it for C-Diff and that he had no problem with it. I waited until after I had gotten off of the antibiotics for almost 2 weeks and the Pain was starting to come back again full force and did the fecal transplant. At the end of 5 days I started to feel better and the cramping and wrenching subsided. I have gotten better every day now for the last 6 days and am currently pain free. I have not run into any studies that have been done with Fecal transplants for Colitis or Chrons, but thought that it was important that I pass this news on to the community here. Maybe it can help someone else as well.
