    Enhancing Improve FMT effectiveness with mucus and biofilm dissolver? N-acetyl cysteine (NAC)

    FWIW, I have a small update on this. Dr. Pimentel (yes, I know not everyone is a fan of his research, but listen with an open mind) said recent studies on treating SIBO with Rifaximin were boosted by the addition of NAC to the regimen. Definitely boosts the...

    Akkermansia & Faecalibacterium prausnitzii paired with HMO's. Critique this.

    I had non-detect Akkermansia on numerous gut reports from the past. I took Pendulum Akkermansia and used HMOs and a high-fiber diet and now have good levels. I have not tested again for several months so I do not know how good staying power will be and I've also had to discontinue a lot of...

    SIBO (just a symptom?), PPI's, Integrative Doctors, Functional Medicine

    Hi! Your story unfortunately sounds really similar to my own. I was on PPIs for around 6 years in total and it's wrecked my gut. My problems clearly predate the PPIs as I had a reason for taking them, but I believe that was stress related and due to a very traumatic childhood. My body was in...

    Donors Does stool donor sex and age matter? Are there differences in receiving fecal transplants (FMT) from male vs. female donors? And different age groups and enterotypes?

    I read the links but I am still not sure to what extent shotgun metagenomics which reports on strains (which the Thorne test does; I have numerous bacteria like Fusobacterium nucleatum reported out to the strain level) is "limited" except in so much as any of our knowledge of the biome and its...

    Enhancing Improve FMT effectiveness with mucus and biofilm dissolver? N-acetyl cysteine (NAC)

    I definitely have thought a lot about this. I am planning to do numerous rounds of FMT via oral route and given that I have dysbiosis of major biofilm producers (though I also have dysbiosis of mucin eaters, so who knows what's going on - regardless I don't have UC or Crohn's) I was...

    Causation Gut microbes implicated in bladder cancer (Jul 2024) Gut microbiota carcinogen metabolism causes distal tissue tumours

    Not surprising in the least. I have had chronic dysbiosis from what I now know to be 99.9 percentile overgrowth of numerous dangerous and pathogenic bacteria and I've had inflammatory bladder issues for nearly 10 years. For the last 5 I have been peeing out epithelial lining from my bladder...

    Donors Does stool donor sex and age matter? Are there differences in receiving fecal transplants (FMT) from male vs. female donors? And different age groups and enterotypes?

    I’m a female pursuing FMT for severe overgrowth of numerous harmful and pathogenic bacteria. I have a history of chronic gastritis and autoimmune disease I believe was triggered by the dysbiosis. I’ve read virtually every Google result I can find on whether sex of donor matters for women but I...
