My son has been diagnosed with post infectious ibs c and has been in misery since February. They put him on rifaxan, nortriptyline and now he's taking linzess. Nothing has helped. I want them to do a fecal transplant on him but nobody seems to listen or want to do that. Tell me more about the fecal pills.

ITS CALLED VOWST . ITS A PILL YOU TAKE 4 OF THEM 3 DAYS IN A ROW. HOWEVER THE PREP IS TERRIBLE. TASTE GOOD, BUT YOUR STOMACH IS RUMBLING FOR DAYS AFTERWARD. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A GASTRO DOCTOR ORDER IT. YOU HAVE TO FIT THE PROTOCAL. MUST HAVE HAD AT LEAST CDIFF TWICE. THE COMPANY IT COMES FROM IS AMBER SPECIALTY. THERE NUMBER IS 877-703-3647. HOWEVER ITS $17.000 FOR 12 PILLS, BUT IF YOU FIT THE PROTOCAL. IT IS FREE. GOOD LUCK

Does that mean it never comes back?

NO SUPPOSEDLY IT PUTS A BLANKET OVER IT, HOWEVER IF YOU GOT IT FROM ANTIBIOTIC, AND TAKE ANTIBIOTIC AGAIN, IT CAN REACTIVATE. YOU WOULD HAVE TO ASK YOUR GASTRO DOCTOR.
