Hi,I am new here! Just joined tonight as a recommendation of another

health group.I am on short chain fatty acid enemas for my diversion

colitis and my GI does not know alot about them.He even had to go

online to RX the correct mixture of butyrate acid and propionic acid.

What I am concerned about,it how " chemical " are these type of

enemas???? Even the mayo clinic has not been of much help on this as

it is a newly discovered treatment.Is the structure similar to the

fatty acids found in fecal matter or purely chemical?? Are they

harmful if used longterm? Thankfully I am sceduled for a reversal of

the ileostomy,but it is iffy the surgery will be a success due to

major adhesions from 6 operations.I would appreciate any info or

opinions anyone has to offer,as finding info on these even online has

been a sruggle. THANX AND HELLO EVERYONE!!!
