Is a lot of probiotics the same as FMT? Anyone try VSL 3? I’m trying a high dose (around 230 billion CFU daily)

Not even close. Probiotics can be, and often are, highly disruptive. https://humanmicrobiome.info/probiotic-guide/
In large part, the opposite of FMT.

Ok…..well, I guess I’ll use my brothers stool, as I have no other option. I don’t have a lot of money to buy from a high quality donor at some hospital.
He is below 30, in decent health, and has good poop (type 3 and 4 on the Bristol stool chart). I’m so bad, I’ll literally just do anything at this point.
And FMT might not even restore my gut?? Man I’m really scared….
I’m in such bad health.

If you take FMT that lackadaisically, you're likely to get worse. What you listed is not how you select & screen a donor.

This does not exist.

There isn’t getting much worse man. I can’t live properly. If I stay like this much longer, the gut inflammation will almost certainly begin to cause cancers and what not.
I’ll just have to use my brother who seems like a decently healthy guy. I’ll probably document how it goes. I’m cooked bro lmaoo
