Adding inulin to the fmt enemas made it at least over x20 times more effective for me + what supplements do you think (or tried) would be good to mix in as well? Enhancing

hello.

I've been using fmts from a personal donor for a while now, over three months or so, I gradually developed worsening mental fatigue and food intolerances among many other symptoms after an antibiotic round over a decade ago, my attention energy (how long i can stay focused on stuff before getting bored and tired) is pretty, pretty low (as in, used to be able to read a book in one go at best, now i can't get over 10 pages without taking frequent breaks) so I can tell well how much it improves.

fmts were far better than anything else i've tried before, but after adding a spoonful or two of inulin to the solution (not the inulin that tastes like cotton candy and turns into hard bits, the one that's more like a syrup, the cotton candy one doens't have the same effect for some reason) made me absorb so much more of it, still using the same amount and methods and everything, nothing else changed, it's no exaggeration to say it x100 the improvements, started taking me to entirely different energy levels each time, unlocking a lot more activities and active hours.

I thought i'd share this as it might help you, however, inulin works differently for each person and there're some people who're actually harmed by it ( i think if you've bacteria that shouldn't be increased, whether bad or good), and there could be unknown dangers in the method I've used, so please keep that in mind, and maybe take a small spoonful orally first as a test and definitely consult your doctor beforehand.

also, in relation to this experiment, what supplements have you tried mixing into an fmt (whether caps or enema) and worked great for you? or what do you think would work great?

I'd appreciate any and all contributions.

Interesting.

• Have you taken the same inulin supplement orally prior to mixing it with the FMT?
• Presumably, you did not try an inulin-only enema to test the individual effect?

Those two things would be required to determine that it's "inulin+FMT" that's having the beneficial impact, and the inulin is boosting the FMT.

I have never tried an inulin enema, but it's generally harmful for me when taken orally. I did take prebiotics orally with a dose of FMT, and it did not boost the FMT. It harmed me as it usually would.
