    Other Duplicating FMT, stool donor, and microbiome projects vs solving existing barriers

    I'm guessing I'm the only programmer here for others to be unable to see how this would work. Obviously, coding is not necessary to do what he did. But I never made that claim. Coding simply lets me work smarter, not harder. I am not so ignorant of how the internet works that I should be unable...

    Other Duplicating FMT, stool donor, and microbiome projects vs solving existing barriers

    If you can do it, anyone else can, too. You did it with little to no knowledge in programming and limited income. Most of my code will be open source and is already accessible on Github, so anyone will be able to duplicate what I do, or submit feature requests, bug reports and even contribute to...

    Other Duplicating FMT, stool donor, and microbiome projects vs solving existing barriers

    FDA restriction means you stopped. If Congress won't do anything until a large number of people speak up, then we're just waiting for Congress. Duplicating what you did is the only thing that will help RIGHT NOW.

    Other Duplicating FMT, stool donor, and microbiome projects vs solving existing barriers

    The problem is you stopped doing that. I will not wait for congress to get their act together for me to be healed. Once I'm healed, then will I be fit for travel and fighting the government on the issue. Access to stools comes first. I'm not willing to suffer at the hands of the healthy.

    Other Duplicating FMT, stool donor, and microbiome projects vs solving existing barriers

    Building a website to not only inform people of all kinds of things, but also make a marketplace of stool donors. The website is still work in progress and is heavily being developed. Progress is slow because it's just me, and my health doesn't let me code every day. It's the one in my...

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

    I've taken at least a trillion CFU a day, with no lasting effect. Though, the first time I took probiotics, my digestive system started acting normal. My poop became a perfect type 3 and I was going every day, with incredible urgency without the need for laxatives. (Note, my stools have mostly...

    Other Why FMT specifically? Why focus on the colon microbiota, wouldn't it be better to transplant microbes from every part of the body that they are found in?

    Not all species can survive every environment.

    What's wrong with my gut?

    Considering all that you've listed, it seems to me that you are already aware of what's wrong with your gut and don't need us to tell you what's wrong with it. Nevertheless, diets generally only work if your microbiome composition allow it to work. However, elimination diets can act as--what I...

    Anyone have experience with Anaerostipes caccae CLB101?

    Seems like this strain was recently introduced into the market. A forum search pulls up an article regarding sorbitol intolerance, but the article does not provide the strain. Though, in the article the species itself was said to assist in helping to restore Clostridia abundance, and similar...

    Donors Amish as stool donors for FMT

    The issue of genetics is a bit too complex in and of itself. What makes things all the more interesting is how the microbiome is certainly able to have an impact on genetics itself, that is, disabling or activating genes. An immediate example of this is lactose tolerant people becoming...

    Enhancing Should I take biofilm buster before FMT?

    You don't mention a specific product, so anything we could say on the matter is speculation. But even if one were to assume some level of efficacy, I wouldn't assume that two weeks will be enough to make a real difference. Considering how quickly the microbiome is known to return to baseline, I...

    Why are bacteria more likely to colonize when doing FMT compared to taking regular probiotics?

    Everyone knows a reduction of diversity and viability equates to a reduction of efficacy. Even the type of buffer they use has been shown to do the same. Granted, stool banks and providers more than likely use anaerobic chambers, which significantly reduce exposure to oxygen, which helps with...

    Why are bacteria more likely to colonize when doing FMT compared to taking regular probiotics?

    Synergy and CFU play a major role. An FMT will contain microbes that assist each other in survival and will number in the trillions, rather than billions (like most probiotic supplements). It also helps if the FMT is performed using a stool sample that had just recently exited a person (e.g...

    High Zonulin + Strep. Suggestions?

    What's more useful is an overall picture of your gut, not self-induced tunnel vision on red text. Many strains of Strep. can protect themselves against IgG, and enjoy the presence of proteins. You may have to overwhelm them with IgG to have any impact on them, but this is likely not the best...

    I’m terrified and don’t want to eventually develop a horrible disease, my gut is ruined! Help!

    A stool test from two years ago is not relevant today. And if proteobacteria is your only concern, then I'd argue you're overreacting. Your face being puffy could be for many things--which includes things not related to your gut. The cause of your puffy face could also be what's causing the...

    FMT and COVID-19, vaccines. Any concerns about COVID vaccination affecting FMT quality? Does it matter if the donor is vaccinated?

    The issue shouldn't be whether or not you'd get a second-hand vaccination, but whether or not the vaccine activated the immune system in such a way as to negatively impact the gut microbiome.
