Fecal Transplant for Ulcerative Colitis: What to Know

What to Do After Fecal Transplant

After the fecal transplant, your doctor might suggest an antidiarrheal plan to allow for the absorption of the transplanted bacteria into the colon of the recipient. In general, there is no particular diet to avoid after this procedure. Nevertheless, it is advisable for people with ulcerative colitis to follow a well-balanced and nutritious diet. Also, reduce the consumption of pro-inflammatory products, including refined sugars, polyunsaturated fatty acids, as well as animal protein and fats. Some recommended diets include a Paleolithic diet, low FODMAP diet, anti-inflammatory diet, lactose-free diet, and specific carb diet. [8]
