Differences in Transplant Dosages? [FMT dose, dosing] Procedure

[NathanH]

During my recent fecal transplant, I took 30 transplant pills a day for several days in a row. I was inflamed, sick, and fatigued for several days during and after the treatment, but I feel significantly better now with less inflammation, allergies and lethargy. During my previous fecal transplant, I took 5-10 pills daily for a month and I had much less beneficial effects afterwards. Michael recommends in the HumanMicrobiome wiki guide straight up drinking a large amount of the transplant, but there is not a lot of information to corroborate this or figure out any positive or negative effects. I am interested in personal anecdotes about what your transplant dosages have been and has anyone noticed any difference between large and small dosages, and short term and long-term dosages.

Ive had some success taking 20-30 pills per day. I did this for about 30 days with 2 different donors and the bacteria were able to colonize.

I checked the wiki and I don't see that it recommends drinking large amounts. I see that it says swallowing/drinking is an option, but doesn't recommend it per se and doesn't mention volume.

Personally, I did not find that large amounts were better. Some of the strongest reactions I had were from small amounts (as little as 0.5-1 capsule).

The section on doses has mixed evidence https://humanmicrobiome.info/fmt/#dose.

I've noticed a larger Herxheimer reaction with the larger dose. But seems like it takes the same amount of time weather it's a large dose or just one pill to "normalize" after the detoxing affect that it causes. It was recommended to us to take Lipotropic Complex to support the liver during and after fmt. https://holtorfmed.com/articles/what-is-a-herxheimer-reaction-and-what-can-i-do-about-it/#:~:text=A Herxheimer reaction can last,dependent on individual patient factors
