About Ibd

What options are you wiling to try to manage your ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease? How about putting someone else’s stool into your own colon? Fecal microbiota transplants (FMTs) — using stool from a donor to repopulate bacteria in the colon — are being studied for use in treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Filmmaker Saffron Cassady decided to try do-it-yourself FMT to treat her ulcerative colitis, using stool from the healthiest person she could find: her husband. The journey is captured in her film, Designer $hit, which explores both the science and potential behind FMT. Learn about why she decided to take a chance on FMT, how it has impacted her life, and where you can see Designer $hit.   Learn where you can attend a screening: https://designershit.eventive.org/schedule   Episode transcript and more information at: https://bit.ly/AIBD142   Find Saffron Cassaday and Designer $hit at: Web: Designer $hit Twitter: @Designer_Shit_ TikTok:  @designershitdocumentary YouTube: Designer $hit Faceboo
