just a follow up?

"The idea of fecal transfer makes sense, but the determination of what constitutes a proper donor for each person remains an unknown. Therein lays some possible risk. The idea of this has been around for a while, but the application of it hasn't always been successful."

I'm just curious as to why you say the application of this hasn't always been successful. From my own research its proven extremely effective against C-Diff. Which is I believe a post antibiotic problem that people can have, and is quite a nasty thing to get.

Have you seen some research that has shown this procedure to
be ineffective? Or worse cause more complications?

I've read a few stories of people who were literally dying from C-diff, underwent the procedure and had all there symptoms vanish almost immediately. They do perform this procedure in the US & Canada, but only to those who are not responding to medications and have recurrent C-diff infections.

I am thinking about the procedure after a few months of the McCombs plan. Trying to eliminate the candida in my system first, then maybe trying to restore my flora somewhat with probiotics and fermented foods. Finally, doing a fecal transplant from a healthy baby to try and add more beneficial bacteria to my system. Not to mention I have read a few times that probiotics have difficulty colonizing the gut, where as a fecal transplant is much more effective for this purpose.

I'm still plan on doing a ton more research though, I'm not someone who dives into something like this. But I really appreciate the feedback you've given. Thanks !
