    Suppose that the gut/brain axis is as important (in psychiatry) as the peer-reviewed literature seems to indicate. Why then isn't fecal transplantation an extremely famous and celebrated psychiatric treatment?

    Fermented foods and gut microbiome

    https://humanmicrobiome.info/probiotic-guide - they can be, but they're largely overhyped, limited, and can have detriments. It's quite difficult (and not fully studied) to determine and weigh all the pros & cons. And as with most things, it varies from person to person, so you'll have to...

    You need to read the other information on this forum and get involved in efforts to make those trials available from safe and effective donors. 1. That's for probiotics, so not surprising at all. 2. You'd have to do a search. 4. Any new info I see gets added to the probiotic guide and wiki...

    Discussion of Jane Dudley's website as a source of reputable information on the microbiome and FMT

    If one reviews the link I shared, it should be quite obvious. Compare the Where to get FMT page with her "FMT Clinics" document. A specific example is her heavy reliance on hearsay, which is heavily contradicted by the public evidence. I see she cites my wiki and capsule-making video in one of...

    Discussion of Jane Dudley's website as a source of reputable information on the microbiome and FMT

    I checked some of the links on that page, and I would say that should not be "go-to" information to give to people, especially not by itself without any disclaimer. It's missing some very important information & warnings, and is overall going to give people a very poor understanding of the...

    State of microbiome-based therapies 5-10 years from now?

    It is noted in my report that even a soil-based probiotic caused major detrimental changes. In the probiotic guide, the "good probiotic combo" very significantly changed my mood, and thus arguably my personality. Under Donor 5, it clearly says "I developed new food intolerances, brain...

    State of microbiome-based therapies 5-10 years from now?

    I disagree with most of what @SFBayFMT5 said because I've experienced myself that those statements are incorrect. I think he's making far too broad claims based off his relatively limited experiences.

    Impact of gut health on food poisoning or sensitivities

    Even so, I don't think "they add more beneficial bacteria to your microbiome and increase gut health" is correct. I don't think there's strong evidence that they're only beneficial for most people (or healthy people) and able to increase gut health. Studies have identified some possible mild...

    Impact of gut health on food poisoning or sensitivities

    This is not good general advice, and is largely misinformation. https://humanmicrobiome.info/probiotic-guide/ EDIT: In regards to OP's title, a more ideal/eubiotic gut microbiome should make you more resistant to food poisoning and food sensitivities. Which specific microbes they are is not...

    What is the gut microbiome's role in motility of the stomach, small intestine, and colon?

    There's a section on motility on the SIBO page: https://humanmicrobiome.info/sibo/#motility I see the large and small intestines both covered, but I didn't see specific mention/citations for the stomach. However, it would surprise me if microbes did not influence motility in the stomach, as the...

    Modulate the microbiome with raw human/cow milk as alternative to FMT?

    I drank raw cow milk for years. It's not even as powerful as a good probiotic. Other people have drank breastmilk and said the same thing. There are websites and Facebook groups where moms sell their milk. Could be hard to verify it's real. Also, there's evidence that the health of the mother...

    We’re Missing the Big Picture on the HMB

    I don't think there is currently any such thing as "resetting the microbiome". Also, nothing comes close to FMT in regards to "improving or altering the microbiome".

    Microbiome Balancing protocol

    That's a breath test, so you're already on the wrong track. Read this: https://humanmicrobiome.info/sibo. https://humanmicrobiome.info/testing/ There are hundreds of supplements that are common to try. They all modify the gut microbiome. Some of them help some people and not others. It's not...

    Report from 2017: I have chronic diarrhea, for which I take Imodium. FOS & Inulin seem to feed the bacteria that soften my stool & cause other detrimental effects. A recent study saying mushrooms were more powerful (in feeding lactobacillus) than Inulin & FOS helped me to identify the...

    Suppose that the gut/brain axis is as important (in psychiatry) as the peer-reviewed literature seems to indicate. Why then isn't fecal transplantation an extremely famous and celebrated psychiatric treatment?

    There are various bacteria used in studies that haven't made it to products yet. Often due to conflicting or lack of evidence, or difficulty mass producing. That's usually the case. Pasteurization just kills the bacteria. "When will it be available" is not answerable. Currently, there are...

    Could be something else you did. Could be that your gut microbiome adjusted to the supplements and your doubling the dose accounted for that adjustment. I wouldn't pin it on motility. Go to someone's profile -> Find -> all threads by user...

    Sounds too good to be true. It's found in butter, and I and millions of other people eat plenty of butter and it hasn't done anything special for me/us. No, it's covered in the wiki. You can't simplify microbes down to a single function.

    Does anyone remember name of the streaming show, either on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, from (pretty sure) 2023, that addressed FMT Fecal Microbiota Transplant? It was NOT “Hack Your Health: Secrets of Your Gut”, BUT INSTEAD was a different show, anywhere from couple months to a year before it

    Sounds familiar to the ones listed here: https://humanmicrobiome.info/fmt/#general-fmt-articles-videos - the CNN one I think. It's not loading for me right now though. I think the VICE news video here also has the clip you described: https://www.humanmicrobes.org/donors

    I do not have a lot of knowledge or experience with those products, but from my experience, and from the literature (https://humanmicrobiome.info/skin/), the gut microbiome should be the target.

    You can check the "diet" section of the wiki. It probably covers that. 2. True, anything is possible. I haven't tried it. 3. You'd have to try and see. 4. ?? 5. Covered in the probiotic guide and probiotics wiki page. 6. Indeed, cost is a factor for #2 as well.
