    Treating Post Lyme Dysbiosis. Is FMT the solution? How to obtain it?

    He sent me a smiley face emoji via email. So he's not someone worth spending your time on, and probably not who he claims to be. This is extremely misleading. What SFBay is referring to is his own personal experience. He is not the only person to have used multiple sources of FMT. The facts...

    Treating Post Lyme Dysbiosis. Is FMT the solution? How to obtain it?

    There are no other safe and effective sources of FMT. Which is the whole reason I started Human Microbes: for my own health. It appears that you'd rather give your daughter FMT from the easiest-to-obtain, low-quality, risky source, rather than put any effort into making safe & effective sources...

    Treating Post Lyme Dysbiosis. Is FMT the solution? How to obtain it?

    The evidence in the wiki strongly suggests that these conditions all stem from gut dysbiosis, and thus FMT is the solution. You'll have to read this and get involved: https://forum.humanmicrobiome.info/threads/the-fda-and-fmt-regulation-part-2-jul-2024-humanmicrobes-org-i-met-wit.520/post-1370...

    Sources Dr Paul Froomes in Melbourne, AU is treating bipolar, autism, and more with FMT

    He's covered in the wiki: https://humanmicrobiome.info/where-to-get-fmt/#dr-paul-froomes-au I don't think there's anything "great" about that. One simplistic, verbal report from the doctor treating the patient (hearsay from a biased source) is next to meaningless. In fact, it's a red flag that...

    We used FMT for recurrent cholangitis in bile duct cancer – strong response but new abdominal pain and gas

    Gas comes from changes/instability. If you eat something your gut can't handle, or which causes a significant shift in your microbiome, that causes gas. It can get painful when it's significant enough. I don't think that's a useful/valid notion. See: FMT donor matching and selection, screening...

    Donors Donor quality and stool type hypothesis for FMT (Fecal Microbiota Transplant)

    Another component of this hypothesis is that it seems like the colon does not want to be covered in poop; it wants to be covered in mucus. Being smeared with poop interferes with the mucus barrier & functions it performs. So if you can pick up a piece of poop and only get mucus on your hand...
