I also tried DF3 from gezonde darmflora. First I tried the capsules which I got severe diarrhea and brainfog from. Before that I had normal stool on the constipated side with severe bloating and brainfog, but still it did not really matter what i was eating I had normal stool although I follow a very strict diet. So I went backwards a lot with DF3. After DF3 I did multiple water fasts hoping to undo the damage but with very little succes. In between I also tried DF5 because I was desperate but this time I tried a klysma(enema) I did not get worse from this donor and I got some benefits. But DF3 set the bar extremely low so it was not that hard to archieve better results. Some side effects were that this donor gave me bad smelly farts. I still had diarrhea after but less sticky diarrhea so my digestion did improve. But my digestion did not really 100% change to the donors stool. 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.
The owner told me I got a bad result from DF3 because of the capsules combined with sibo so I was willing to try DF3 klysma this time(this was already more than a year later) after the DF5 experience was not negative and had positive effects. Unfortunately I got the exact same reaction to DF3 klysma I got left with brainfog + diarrhea again and burning sensation inside my large intestine afterwards combined with bad fatigue. He was polite enough to send some DF5 saved samples to me afterwards. However I could only hold them in for only 30 minutes max. I had trouble taking his klysma since the beginning, so we agreed to add some extra water in a little plastic container/bottle his capsules also came in with NaCl water alongside the klysma which I would later add to the solution. However he did not appreciate the feedback about his klysma.
The main issue I am having with his Klysma is that the stool comes inside a syringe. So it is impossible to check whether or not the stool inside is dethawed enough or not. With Microbioma it came inside a little bottle with more water added. So you could shake the solution until there was little ice left and you knew it was ready to go. Here there was no indicator at all. Which made the solution get stuck inside the catheter for me. With more water added which I mixed first. And afterwards added to multiple syringes. I now had no issue taking the stool solution. I let it dethaw for a while outside and when it still felt slightly frozen I mixed the still frozen solution with the water inside a cup. Now I had cold water mixed with stool inside 2 syrringes which worked much better. But it was still very difficult to keep the stool inside for a long period of time.
Many months later my digestion improved a little again and the brainfog is also better by a lot. Which I think it is related to some bacteria in DF5 for the brainfog part. Bloating is also there but it's definitely less and not as severe as before. Only since last month my digestion started improving again because of my strict diet regime combined with water fasts. But it is still on and off a lot. So my digestion is worse than when I started and my brainfog and bloating is better than when I started. Both donors are not available any more at this time but I still wanted to share my experience for reference to future donors of Gezonde Darmflora. The advice I also would give for the capsules is start with 1 and gradually move up the amount to prevent the reaction I had. If you would happen to react negatively to a donor you can stop before it gets very bad. If you take them all at once you are gambling for a positive outcome. Which you will not always get. Also negative outcome with capsules = negative outcome with klysma atleast for me.
I left some stuff out that I might add in the near future. Since this review is already quite long, but for now this is my experience with Gezonde Darmflora. It can be worth a try but you have to be cautious when trying fmt in general and not be naive.
