While I'm sure there are people in the world who have benefitted from this sort of approach, I suspect it will be difficult to find people like that here. People who end up trying FMT on their own, or else have FMT performed by a doctor and then seek it out again due to highly favorable results, are likely to be those for whom more nutritional approaches fail, or at least don't provide more than the most temporary improvement.

Those approaches you listed, aside from the L reuteri, which is just ONE species of bacterium, don't introduce any new organisms into your body that don't already exist there. Some people presumably already have SOME of everything they need, and for some of them simply feeding the right bugs brings significant changes, but that isn't the case for everyone.
