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

    For the most part, I have stopped freely sharing my knowledge due to a lack of reciprocation. If everyone's going to behave like psychopathic leeches, I'm not going to help them.

    What are my options if high-quality FMT is not available?

    Since he hasn't responded, I'll say that you can look through his post history to see that he's in the same position as you. You're all trying to explore every other option, no matter how fruitless and unpromising, because you're all too lazy to take the necessary action to obtain a cure.

    Sources Is HumanMicrobes.org legit? Is it a scam? Are they really paying $500 for stool donation? Misinformation & fake reviews on reddit.

    This is absolute nonsense. Microbes are generally "species native", which means that pigs have their own strains of certain bacteria, mice have their own strains, and humans have their own strains, etc. There are FMT consensus guidelines linked on the website that conclude that "universal...

    Firstly, that's a nonsensical sentence. Secondly, it's not true. There are plenty of sources of FMT, including most clinical trials, that do not use "many different donors". Third, there are many different reasons for "fecal donations", with widely varying criteria for donors. For example, C...
