While in the U.K. in late October, I took the opportunity to visit the Taymount Clinic. I was really impressed with what they’re doing and the results that they’re getting. In the U.S., FMT is only FDA-approved for antibiotic-resistant Clostridium difficile. So if someone wants to get an FMT for a different condition, they’re not able to do it in the US, but that is not a limitation in the U.K. I’ve sent some of my own patients there and had a chance to see some really positive clinical responses. I wanted to have Glenn come back onto the show and get an update from him on what he has learned since the last time we talked. In this episode we cover: 6:18 Is FMT a panacea? 8:40 How well IBD responds to FMT 14:00 How C. difficile, colitis and multiple sclerosis respond to FMT 19:00 How Crohn’s disease responds to FMT 26:10 FMT and weight loss 30:40 FMT’s effect on eczema and allergies 39:38 How to increase species diversity in the gut 48:30 The new Taymount Clinic in the Bahamas [smart_track_player url="http://traffic.libsyn.com/thehealthyskeptic/RHR_-_Fecal_Microbiota_Transplants_-_An_Update_with_Glenn_Taylor.mp3" title="RHR: Fecal Microbiota Transpants -- An Update with Glenn Taylor" artist="Chris Kresser" social="true" social_twitter="true" social_facebook="true" social_gplus="true" ] Chris Kresser: Hey, everyone. Welcome to another episode of Revolution Health Radio. This week I’m really excited to welcome back Glenn Taylor, Founder and Co-Director of the Taymount Clinic in the U.K. Taymount was founded in 2003, and it’s one of the only dedicated FMT (fecal microbiota transplant) clinics in the world, that I’m aware of. Glenn developed Taymount’s donor selection and quarantine safety process, the Taymount Laboratory Stool Processing System, and the treatment delivery program that Taymount uses for FMT. As Taymount’s Director of Science, he oversees the lab team and the entire processing system and supervises the training of the nursing staff to deliver the treatment program. Glenn’s personal specialty is the human microbiome and microbiology, building on his early training in human biology, biology, and organic chemistry. Glenn was a guest on the show maybe a year or a year and a half ago. We talked about fecal transplant and the way that they’re applying it over there at Taymount Clinic. I was actually in the U.K. for a couple of weeks, doing some public speaking in late October and early November of last year, and I took the opportunity to head up to Hitchin, which is a little bit outside of London, and meet Glenn and the staff there. I was really impressed with what they’re doing and their professionalism and the results that they’re getting and the way that they’re handling the whole procedure from beginning to end.
