Diarrhea and Intestinal Microbiota

We carry out a review of the world literature, regarding the role played by the Intestinal Microbiota (IM), when transplanted in the decrease and disappearance of diarrhea, in many conditions. Some acute and most chronic. Also, we show our little experience regarding the effect of Intestinal Microbiota Transplant (IMT), also known as Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT). We refer to how patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Diarrhea variety, Anxiety, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Pseudomembranous Colitis, Intestinal Malabsorption Syndrome, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Retroperitoneal Cancer operated on 4 occasions, secondary to left seminoma and right testicular teratoma (excised). We show that in all of them, the diarrhea was reduced substantially and that the complications that appeared were minimal; without relevance or significant effect.

ISSN: 2690-8808    The Amount of Transplanted Microbiota was 200 ml. In ascending colon, 100 ml. In transverse colon and 200 ml. In descending colon in 10 patients. In the patient with pseudomembranous Colitis, 3 transplants were performed, for the same amount, on alternate days.
In 2 cases 250 ml were instilled into the jejunum. And then in ascending colon 200 ml. 100 ml. In transverse colon and 200 ml. In the descending colon. In 1 case: 250 ml. In the jejunum And then: 100 ml. In ascending colon, 50 ml. In transverse colon and 100 ml. In descending colon.
We applied the Microbiota in 3 cases, through the jejunum, depositing 250 ml in one case. And in another 400 ml.
Complications. They were presented in 4 cases. One of them diarrhoea in number of 8 a day and abdominal pain. They ceded at 24 hours spontaneously. The second with diarrhoea and abdominal pain, which yielded with antispasmodics and probiotics at 48 hours. The third with bloating and pain on both flanks, which disappeared at 24 hours. The fourth case presented with diarrhoea, from overeating chile, mole and tamarind. Containing the problem with antispasmodics, probiotics and antidiarrheals. We consider that this case was not a complication of the IMT, but of the excess when eating, despite having been told otherwise. The problem gave way in 3 days.
Although comments have already been made on some comorbidities, the time and percentages of the improvements appear below. Which occurred in all cases.
In the Main Diagnosis, the Evolution Was:Anxiety 13 Cases. (Decreased from the 4th Day to 3 weeks, in all cases, considering the Hamilton Scale).
The patient with the greatest anxiety had 40 points, and the one with the least anxiety 16. In the comparative lines, the initial anxiety and below the anxiety after the IMT are observed: One of the conditions that are most often treated with IMT is diarrhoea. All over the world, the criteria tend to be standardized and the methodology to equalize, in order to obtain better answers [1,2,3].
According to the World Health Organization Diarrhoea is the passage of 3 or more loose or liquid stools per day, or more frequently than is normal for the individual [4].
Although in our casuistry we do not address patients with diarrhoea, such as those caused by bacteria, parasites or contaminated water, but those that occur in processes resulting from mainly gastrointestinal conditions, predominantly Irritable Bowel Syndrome, secondary to alterations in the intestinal microbiota (IM).
Diarrhoea, caused by IBS, inflammatory processes (IBD, Crohn's disease, immunological disorders, and others), are frequent and can be seen to affect the quality of life and good personal development [5,6,7].
The referenced authors have witnessed the importance of Intestinal Microbiota Transplantation in diseases as frequent as IBS, diarrhoea variety [8], and the inflammatory processes of Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease, with generation of diarrheic evacuations [9,10,11,12], as well as the correction, with an enormous frequency of inflammatory processes and consequently diarrhoea [13,14].
Remission of diarrheal processes has been frequently observed in other diagnoses, such as Lupus erythematosous [15].
The most abundant cases in the world literature are C. difficile diarrhoea, which we include only one case; our casuistry included 17 patients.
Various information reveals that Fecal Microbiota Transplantation treats them satisfactorily from 80 to 90% [16]. We do not include C. difficile recurrent diarrhoea [17,18,19]. For having been successfully addressed. Now, regarding our cases, we consider that one of the reasons for the decrease in diarrhoea was the tireless search for excellent donors, to whom we not only performed a deep medical history [20], but also carried out the studies required [21]. And above all, we use the criterion of having donors under the age of 30 years [22].
At present, it is necessary not forget the recommendations of the U. S. FDA [23], which indicate that from March 23, 2020 we must carry out: • Questions aimed at identifying donors who may be infected with SARS-CoV-2.
• Donor and / or donor stool test for SARS-CoV-2.
• Development of criteria for the exclusion of donors and donor feces based on detection and tests.
• Informed consent that includes information on the potential for transmission of SARS-CoV-2 through FMT, including FMT prepared from donor faeces that are asymptomatic for COVID-19.
These statements are reinforced by the FDA on April 9, 2020 [24].
We add that those samples processed before November 1, 2019, may be useful, if the processing was based on all the rules inherent to Fecal Microbiota Transplantation [25].

Comments.
In our casuistry we observed that the majority of patients with chronic diarrhoea had anxiety, as the first diagnosis, followed by IBS, diarrhoea variety. And in all of them there were good results. We note that both primary and secondary comorbidities improved in most patients. Most of the transplants performed were performed in the colon, with amounts around 500 ml. Of microbiota.
We have started to administer IMT in cancer, with surprising results. We tried that the patient was in a remission phase and the fact that the fall of the weight stops, as well as recover the appetite, especially of foods that he liked, for us was a truly favorable surprise.
The comments made by some patients with chronic diarrhoea, which included that they did not evacuate solid or formed for months, also surprised us, as well as the recovery of weight and the decrease of intestinal disorders added.
Something that we cannot forget in the Fecal Microbiota Transplant methodology is Dysbiosis, a process that is present in all cases and whether it is called dysbiosis, intestinal dysbiosis or dysbacteriosis [26], and that occurs when the normal balance is altered of the normal flow of the microbiota, generates specific symptoms and has prevention, which we can try [27]. This inflammatory process is the result of an inadequate diet, the use of antibiotics, exaggerated intake of alcohol, stress or certain drugs. It can be reversed, or at the hands try with changes in habits [28,29].

Conclusions
• Mixed Intestinal Microbiota Transplant (jejunum and colon, gives better results).
• The increase of the amount of 500 ml. It helps to improve the morbid processes, more quickly.
• Complications are usually benign and correct alone or with conventional treatment.
• We believe that it is time to gradually add more conditions to the list of cases treatable with IMT.
• The IMT should be added to the therapeutic guidelines. In the world.
