NOT FOR IBD: No so far the only indication for fecal transplant is pseudomembrane colitis that not responding to a regular treatment or multiple recurrent which is by the way it called antibiotic induced colitis.

Possibly: They help reduce inflammation by repopulating the gut with healthy bacteria that are immune modulators. It's still in the research stage for UC, so most GIs don't offer it. Some kits with instructions are available on the internet. Try Probonix probiotic, vit D3 10k IU/day and autoimmune paleo diet until you can find more on fecal transplant.
