Anyone had fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) for Ulcerative Colitis?
Has anyone had the FMT transplant for UC? If yes was it successful? Thanks

@jjob73 Good morning. I found this older discussion with lots of information. If you change the setting from ‘oldest to newest’ to ‘newest to oldest’, you’ll get more recent postings.

Are you considering FMT?
Thank you and I was exploring all options. I have read that FMT have good results.
@jjob73 I found this article about FMT and ulcerative colitis. It does sound like a good possibility for you. I’m not sure the procedure is out of clinical trials, though.

Is your doctor also in favor of this?
We spoke about it. I am currently doing ok on Xeljanz but I am also on prednisone. So we discussed if it don’t work we might try FMT
