I'm at a point where if I see western names on a study I just assume its big pharma fear mongering and gatekeeping. It's unfortunate, but pattern recognition has gotten our species pretty far, seems foolish to abandon it now haha.

If you don't mind me asking, how were you able to try it? Is your biome good now? I'm asking because obviously if it were, I'd want to drive to meet you and try it myself. (Or fly. If you're actually in San Fran I have some cousins there I could stay with). But anyways that's my main problem is...

Maybe some will find this info relevant but I've been looking at places around the world that do FMT and some offer the ability to select stool from donors who did not take the covid vaccine, and you can see what their overall vaccine status is in general as well. (I was just price shopping and...

Interesting study. Anecdotal but I'm dealing with an issue right now where I tried to introduce more carbs to my diet and am now having some serious gut issues. I was tested for celiac disease about a year ago and was negative. Hope you're doing good Michael and thanks for always posting new...

I don't have a super strong opinion on whether or not it matters if you get FMT from a man or woman, just thought I'd mention that there's anecdotal stuff out there and that if I were looking for a personal donor I'd probably factor it in. In theory, the gut biome does modulate hormones, so its...

Yeah there's a few studies but this (anecdotal) first hand account is interesting. I'd still get a FMT from a woman if she met all other criteria. I just noticed that the author of this post is going by a male name and mentioned he was considering a female donor (no judgement here!) and I...

I'd also add the potential for hormonal disturbance that can happen when transplanting from female to male or male to female. I know there's conflicting research on this but in my own hunt for FMT transplant donors, this is something I would seriously consider as a potential variable of concern.

I had a roommate once for a year or so who was bipolar and had manic episodes. Obviously this is just anecdotal, but it wasn't until he started working out with me and drinking constant high fiber smoothies did he start to become manic. For some reason it always stuck out to me that when he...

This is an interesting thread so thought I'd add my experience with inulin. I started taking it as a component of some nut bars I was eating and at first it worked GREAT, my stools totally regulated for a couple weeks, but then they went right back to loose and unpredictable so I stopped. I...

I've tried akkermansia a few times, and one of those times I got the mixture where they also have Clostridium butyricum (and others), and that one I felt like actually helped pretty quickly. I want to say it was "glucose control." My experience with the akkermansia alone actually seemed at first...

There's a company that makes akkermansia now if you're looking to supplement that. I drink a TON of kefir, like, a TON, and that's helped me a lot. I believe the company that makes akkermansia also makes a few other SCFA bacteria strains in supplement form. I've had mixed results with them, but...

In Utero Exposure to Caffeine and Acetaminophen, the Gut Microbiome, and Neurodevelopmental Outcomes: A Prospective Birth Cohort Study Pregnant individuals are exposed to acetaminophen and caffeine, but it is unknown how these exposures interact with the developing gut microbiome. We aimed to...

I've wondered about this for a long time since my rescue meds for epilepsy are heavy benzos and I've noticed my gut seems better the day after I take them. That's not to suggest they're good long term or a real solution, but I suspected maybe they were doing something along these lines. More...

Why does everyone on here hate RFK Jr.? While I'm pissed they haven't addressed FMT yet, I'm glad they're finally bringing a lot of medical corruption into the mainstream for everyone to see. Consider that the vast majority of the US now understands just how corrupt big pharma actually is, and...

I think we're using different language to approximate the same meaning. They shouldn't be using bad donors and bad samples. Who is the person running the bad bank right now? edit: shouldn't
