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

    So what are you doing to help make safe & effective donors available? I see lots of people making statements like that about how bad off they are and how badly they need FMT, yet virtually 100% of them are completely unwilling to lift a finger to help themselves. Most of them use whatever bad...

    How I got off imodium/loperamide. Identify the root cause and the appropriate tool to solve it (FMT, Cholestyramine).

    The OP was correct. The collapse was probably not solely due to stopping the one imodium, but rather, possibly olive oil and another problematic dietary ingredient. This is also because the FMT donor I was using seems weak for restoring bile acid metabolism, microbial density, and clearing or...

    The power of olive oil -- significant changes to gut microbiome, stool, and food tolerances

    I think the olive oil intolerance is due to the acids, because the intolerance gets worse when I'm lacking the microbes needed for bile acid metabolism (BAM), and the symptoms are very similar to eating fat without Cholestyramine when my BAM is poor. The side effects I experience from olive oil...
