Hi All, I saw a post almost 6 years ago looking into some kind of fecal transplant therapy for the treatment of ulcerative colitis. Some of my friends shared an update with me that this new FMT treatment is availabe through a stool bank called the Asia Microbiota Bank (www.asiabiobank.com).
According to their website: "The Asia Microbiota Bank does not consult with patients directly. We will refer you to a HMT provider within our Registered Clinician Network that can consult with you to determine if this is the right treatment for your situation."
But they do say that you can call or email them at
health@asiabiobank.com or +852 3705 3599.
If you end up contacting them, please share your experience, I hope it can help some people out there!

POSTED BY POISON (6 YRS AGO)
hi,
my husband is suffering from ulcerative colitis-a disease that causes inflammation to the colon.If the disease is active, the patient has bloody stools from 5-15 times per day if serious,diarrhea,abdominal pain,cramps,loss of appetite,weight loss,vomitting etc.
my husband is right now in remission due to taking steroids and another drug called azathioprine prescribed by his Gastro doc. But these drugs cause lots of side effects.
It may be difficult for someone who doesn't know much about this disease to understand what I am trying to ask here. does anyone here suffer from ulcerative colitis? Fecal Transplant is being done for this disease in the U.S.I was wondering if anyone knows any clinics here in hk that can do Fecal transplant for my husband. We talked about this with his GI doc but the doc simply laughed us out of his office by saying it doesnt work. But i have a hope that it can work. even if it doesn't,there wont be anything at lose as fecal transplant wont cause any serious side effects if we have a healthy donor.but these strong drugs cause lots of terrible side effects.so fecal transplant is highly preferable nowadays.
Pls tell me if there is any clinic here in hk that can do it.
