Suppose that the gut/brain axis is as important (in psychiatry) as the peer-reviewed literature seems to indicate. Why then isn't fecal transplantation an extremely famous and celebrated psychiatric treatment?

How useful is microbiome testing? What are the benefits and limitations? What can it tell me? How much do we know about our microbiomes? What is the best gut test?

Just last night I posted a very recent (in fact, not yet formally published in a journal) paper in the "Microbiome studies, news, media" section that you might really like to read. You ask a lot of questions about the microbiome and how it functions biochemically, that's what this paper is all about.

My name is Nick, and today I discovered what FMT is. WOW that’s awesome! I just watched the YouTube video of “Your poop could save someone’s life” and I thought to myself, is it that easy? Could I possibly help someone? What if I needed this kind of help someday? What if my own poop now, could potentially save my own life later? Could I save someone’s in my family someday? And the list of questions just kept running through my head. So, what I’m asking is, how can I help? What do I need to do to see if I’m a suitable candidate to offer my feces? Definitely worth the ask if I could save a life or potentially my own someday.

Thanks,
Nick
