Clinics and Doctors Who Perform Fecal Microbiota Transplantation

We are compiling a list of doctors and hospitals around the world who have performed fecal microbiota transplants - the list will grow as more doctors start to use this procedure on their ailing patients. We would love your help in compiling this list, so a comment with a name of a doctor/physician/medical professional and any information you can give would be very much appreciated! Please don't try this procedure without qualified medical guidance and advice. It is essential that fecal doners be screened for various diseases including some which are contageous.

"Jake's" Widespread Crohn's Disease Gone Thanks To FMT! 20 November 2013

It's been a while since I posted about my son "Jake".  For those who haven't read his story, here is the link   http://www.fecalmicrobiotatransplant.com/2013/07/crohns-disease-fmt.html  . He has been off medication (Imuran) for nine months now and looks and feels well.  Unfortunately his cousin who was his donor became unsuitable to donate in mid August due to picking up a parasite, so Jake has gone since then without any FMT . Today he had a colonoscopy and endoscopy and we were thrilled with the news.  There is no sign of Crohn's Disease anywhere - not in his intestines, not in his terminal ileum and not in his duodenum!!! In fact, Professor Borody said there was no scarring or ulceration or any indication that the disease had ever existed.  It was all perfect, healthy and inflammation-free.  When he was first diagnosed with Crohn's three years ago it was very widespread.  I am sure that anyone ...

Crohn's Disease, Acne and Fecal Microbiota Transplant In Teenager - Remission Without Medication! 27 July 2013

I have hesitated in sharing my son's story with Crohn's Disease and the success we have had with FMT (fecal microbiota transplantation) until now because I didn't want to do so prematurely. My son is 15 years old.  To protect his privacy, I will call him Jake, although that is not his real name :-). Jake was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease a few days before his 13th birthday.  It was widespread ulceration, inflammation and infection throughout his duodenum, terminal ileum, ascending colon, descending colon and rectum.  It was a "gut-wrenching" time for me as a mother to an only child, especially after being told how very serious this disease is, how extensively he had it, that he would have it for the rest of his life, and probably do poorly in the long-term because he was so young at diagnosis.  I was worried sick with the long term consequences of my son taking immune-suppressive drugs (in his case, Imuran) - on the other hand I was terrified of the c...
