  • •Patients with clinically and endoscopically active, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis or Microscopic Colitis
  • •Patient must have attempted reasonable medical therapies to control their disease without sufficient response.
  • •All patients have to be capable of attending appointments, as well completing surveys and diagnostic tests for the duration of study follow up

  • •Neutrophils less than 1.0 x 109/L
  • •Albumin less than 20g/L
  • •Active gastrointestinal infection as identified by testing
  • •A patient on steroids (prednisolone, budesonide) at a dose that cannot be safely tapered to zero within 6 weeks of initial FMT, due to the risk of adrenal insufficiency

  • •Perforation or active internal fistulising disease or enterocutaneous fistulae.
  • •Any patient that the clinicians feel is incapable of participating in the safe use of FMT.
