Probiotic Enemas
Hi…new to the site. Just read a post by a member named Ross that performed probiotic enemas (back in 2022 I think) with what seemed to be success based on his post. I’ve had UC for many years and am looking for a similar solution. Am seriously thinking about DIY FMT but the probiotic enema seems a lot more convenient for more reasons than one. Am hoping he reaches out to me but was wondering if others have tried a probiotic enema….thank you all and I wish you good health.

Hi Chris! Welcome and thanks for reaching out. I think I also responded to your comment to Ross himself, but I wanted to make sure to connect with you here as well. I know it's been several days since you posted, but I do hope any of our community members with experience, or similar experience, can share with you here.
I am not familiar with probiotic enemas (aside from what Ross described in his post), although I did find this study published in 2010 with inflammatory bowel disease and probiotic enemas, https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2861635/. Of course, we are not medical professionals so cannot give medical advice, but it certainly seems that it wouldn't hurt to talk about this with your doctor to see if this would be a safe and feasible option for you.
I do hope that you can get some helpful feedback here and please, if you're comfortable, keep us posted.
Wishing you a gentle day! -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
