Human Microbiome Community Forum

So you've been following me for 3 years and have done nothing to help. Now you want my help and are promising vague financial compensation in return. Unconvincing.

How could I have helped ? I am barely a legal adult. I found about gut microbiome and r/humanmicrobiome when I was late teenager suffering alone with the issues I had but I couldn’t do anything at that time because I had to pass high school , had no financial aid on my own , had no one to be willing to do FMT . There is no realistic outcome in which I could have helped you in the last 3 years as a late teenager.

In the past 3 years, I tried to manage my issues through various diets and prescribed medications but with no real progress . I enrolled in a college course but had to drop out after a year because the issues were unbearable. I had no verbal or physical contact except 2 close family members in the past 2 years due to issues. Now I have saved some money , has one of my parents support and found a potential FMT donor . FMT is my only resort now after I have waited so much and tried experimented with almost everything.

Your hostility is valid after you have given years to all this research and this field while living with your issues. I wish I could have helped but I had to tackle my personal life/family problems , my own health issues and try to manage my studies/career. I have no friends or stable outside relationships except 2 family members . i am mentally and physically sick person who had to manage so many things while my body is barely functioning.

I can assure you, the poor life I had since I was a kid and the issues I have right now , it has been more severe than anyone on this forum . I am just asking for some advice/help.

Why are you posting this on my profile instead of making a thread or emailing me?

Sorry , this will be last time posting this on your profile. I will remove all my comments from your possible if that’s possible. I didn’t want to make a separate thread for this just for my own personal questions and I didn’t think of email. I thought that if you messaged me privately , I could ask and talk with you there and delete all my comments then.

I don’t have the mental or physical energy to participate in an argument.

I admit that I want some empathy for my health state. I have been through a lot of violent and personal trauma too along with the severe health issues which can’t be improved without FMT. The health issues extend to maternal cousins , my mother and my sibling because we share similar gut bacteria. I also think and believe that the poor gut microbiome of my mother and her family contributed to trashy life choices which further led to the violent personal trauma . I just want to fix myself and don’t want to waste my 20s and also want to help other people (including yourself) who are suffering from same in anyway I can.
