    Gezonde Darmflora WARNING: Gezonde Darmflora / Marco Kleijn – Comprehensive Review & Scam Alert

    That is concerning if true because of how emphatic and accusatory the OP is regarding GD. Of course, some of the things he/she says, if accurate, are worth noting regardless--like the stated timeframe for processing, the means of blending, and the non-use of diet logs. It's of course up to each...

    Gezonde Darmflora WARNING: Gezonde Darmflora / Marco Kleijn – Comprehensive Review & Scam Alert

    Evidence? Different people have different moral standards when it comes to this. For some, if they mention their criteria and then just say "all of our donors met those criteria", this is the proper balance between informing the recipient and protecting the donor's privacy, as opposed to...

    Gezonde Darmflora WARNING: Gezonde Darmflora / Marco Kleijn – Comprehensive Review & Scam Alert

    I got my opinion of the effectiveness from real-time messaging back and forth with previous recipients of GD's product, who I did NOT find through Marco himself. I would encourage everyone to do this, with any provider, i.e. find the most authentic-seeming customers you can find who are...

    Gezonde Darmflora Experience with two Gezonde Darmflora donors. Significantly worse from DF3, some improvements from DF5.

    That's just it. I ASSUME that ANY provider of FMT will have recipients who have gotten worse from certain donors. Even OpenBiome, whose FMT did more than Gezonde Darmflora and Human Microbes combined, with fewer side effects, has negative experiences, as Michael has posted here about before...

    Gezonde Darmflora Experience with two Gezonde Darmflora donors. Significantly worse from DF3, some improvements from DF5.

    I don't need to trust, or NOT trust, anything that Marco said to know how I reacted to DF3, and how different it was from how I reacted to her brother DF7. It was not Marco who in any way raised the possibility that it would extend to other females of her age--it's just me being a scientist and...

    Gezonde Darmflora Experience with two Gezonde Darmflora donors. Significantly worse from DF3, some improvements from DF5.

    I think we ARE talking a completely different language. The only thing I care about right now is finding new donors. Therefore the only question that's relevant to me about DF3 is how it could inform my future choice of donors. For instance, would someone who does poorly with her also react...

    Gezonde Darmflora Experience with two Gezonde Darmflora donors. Significantly worse from DF3, some improvements from DF5.

    I'm very confused now. You said, in your own words, "I also had benefits from this donor in some other areas. It got rid of my brainfog for 90% and helped against my severe bloating." This is, as I understand, pertaining to DF5. And you said that "Before that I had normal stool on the...

    Gezonde Darmflora Experience with two Gezonde Darmflora donors. Significantly worse from DF3, some improvements from DF5.

    To be clear, what happened to me with DF3 is not likely something that would show on a stool or blood test. It's not that I picked up a disease from her, it's that the proportions of bacteria in her stool were far too stimulating for my system, both for my gut (causing diarrhea) and my brain...

    Gezonde Darmflora Experience with two Gezonde Darmflora donors. Significantly worse from DF3, some improvements from DF5.

    I reported my success with them here: https://forum.humanmicrobiome.info/threads/temporary-success-with-openbiome-in-2015-for-post-lyme-and-neuropsychi.358/ FYI they are no longer operating. They also only provided FMT for C. diff while they WERE operating. You can find other mention of them...

    Gezonde Darmflora Experience with two Gezonde Darmflora donors. Significantly worse from DF3, some improvements from DF5.

    Good to know that too about Microbioma. Though the situation with the Microbioma donors is confusing, I can never keep straight who is talking about whom. Because some people said there was one male donor and one female, some said there were originally two male donors but then they got a third...

    Gezonde Darmflora Experience with two Gezonde Darmflora donors. Significantly worse from DF3, some improvements from DF5.

    Good too see someone else had a similar worsening from DF3, so it's not "just me". Not in the sense that it's good to see people get worse, but in that it's not that I am the only one made worse by a donor who is great for everyone else. It's also interesting to see that DF5, who Marco said was...

    Gezonde Darmflora Improvements to sleep, IBS, and weight from donor DF3 from Gezonde Darmflora

    Just so everyone here knows who might be thinking of trying her, DF3 is unfortunately no longer available How did you confirm a Lyme relapse? Did you have a recurrence of arthritis, a bull's eye rash, or some other specific Lyme symptom? In my experience, not only is it difficult to tell many...

    Gezonde Darmflora Review of two Gezonde Darmflora donors--one good and one bad. DF3 and DF7.

    Sure EvaJak. These FMTs were the latest in a series that I started last May, so you may want to read my previous review of HM (in which I also compare and contrast that with OpenBiome). But briefly, this whole thing started with a sort of stretching pain in my middle back and a visibly swollen...

    Gezonde Darmflora Review of two Gezonde Darmflora donors--one good and one bad. DF3 and DF7.

    Firstly, how do you know it's even the same woman we are talking about? Secondly, much of my interaction with her was in private messages, it was not public. Not to say that what she said publicly was in any way lacking in transparency either mind you--just that if she didn't spell everything...

    Gezonde Darmflora Review of two Gezonde Darmflora donors--one good and one bad. DF3 and DF7.

    It was the man, not the woman, who was evasive. The woman was very forthcoming about exactly how she had done her FMTs and what her experience was. She however ONLY used DF3, which was the donor who made me worse. The man had used both. This third study is about frozen FMT vs. FMT that has...

    Gezonde Darmflora Review of two Gezonde Darmflora donors--one good and one bad. DF3 and DF7.

    Firstly--so Gezonde Darmflora (who I will call GD from now on) went through a period earlier this winter of not accepting orders from the US due to customs issues--thankfully neither of my orders had this problem although other orders in the same time frame did. Now they have solved this problem...

    Human Microbes Extreme Success From SD_ES_2015 For Severe Anxiety, Depression, and IBS

    The way I read the OP, I understood it that this is the most compatible donor of the four that he/she has tried, BUT even then, it STILL required a combination of thawed AND unthawed to be dramatically effective.

    Human Microbes HumanMicrobes.org, Donor NY-KS-1998. Treating CFS, IBS, mild Alzheimers. Large improvements to skin, stool quality, IBS. Mild to moderate improvements to fatigue, sleep, sex drive. Time to focus on Step #3 (2024)

    Have you tried any of these other methods and had them actually work? It seems not, otherwise you would have gotten one of the good donors to "stick". If they don't work, then why use them??

    What do you think is best? Something like vancomycin? Before I received the FMT that ended up being most helpful for me, I indeed took vancomycin for more than a month. In my case I had to, because I had active C. diff and couldn't get in for a FMT before about 1.5 months after my positive...

    Human Microbes Trial of glycerol-preserved UT-AW-1998 (Human Microbes) for gut pain, food intolerances, and cognitive/neuropsychiatric symptoms

    This is a follow-up to this experience, which I previously promised togive once more time had passed since the FMT. I'm posting as a separate thread because they may just as well have been different donors/sources, given the difference in effects. Both were only partial successes however. The...

    Human Microbes Partial success with UT-AW-1998 for gut pain, food intolerances, and cognitive/mood symptoms (PANS-like)

    The first set of capsules (without additives) never increased stool firmness. There was always if anything the tendency toward diarrhea, even though the threshold to provoke it became greater the longer after starting treatment. The "constipating" or "firming" effect of the capsules WITH...

    Human Microbes Partial success with UT-AW-1998 for gut pain, food intolerances, and cognitive/mood symptoms (PANS-like)

    Just a quick follow up... I have since ordered capsules from the same donor, but with glycerol added. Even after the first capsule, I was able to tell that this made a HUGE difference, and that difference has continued/held up so far. It feels significantly more like the 2015 FMT from OpenBiome...

    Human Microbes Partial success with UT-AW-1998 for gut pain, food intolerances, and cognitive/mood symptoms (PANS-like)

    Why would this support my position that the chance of diarrhea (or any other negative effects) may be higher if the stool is used whole rather than filtered? As far as I know, no HMorg donor has EVER filtered their stool before sending to recipients, thus any change lately must be from something...

    Human Microbes Partial success with UT-AW-1998 for gut pain, food intolerances, and cognitive/mood symptoms (PANS-like)

    That's in all honesty why I asked whether you have ever considered having donors filter/wash their stool before freezing. Not having tested a single donor filtered vs. unfiltered, and not knowing anyone else who has, I can't claim with evidence that this is the reason for people having these...

    Human Microbes Partial success with UT-AW-1998 for gut pain, food intolerances, and cognitive/mood symptoms (PANS-like)

    First I will give a brief overview of where I was health-wise both prior to this FMT, and very briefly where I was prior to my OpenBiome FMT in 2015, with which this experience will be compared (since it's my only other FMT, hence my only reference point as to how successful this one was). You...

    Human Microbes Extreme Success From SD_ES_2015 For Severe Anxiety, Depression, and IBS

    Of the other HMorg donors you tried (FL-RS, OR_JO, and UT-AW), how would you rank them relative to each other (It's pretty clear from this thread that all three rank below SD-ES-2015)?
