Thanks; I'm sorry to hear about your health problems I know how debilitating they can be. Hope your case is not as bad as mine. I'm currently self administering FMTs which I get from someone in my local community. I have tested the stool of dozens of people (which is so expensive) and have settled on this donor who has a decent stool profile.
An alternative to that may be trying to get stool from humanmicrobes.org or a more "legit" way which is through the center for digestive diseases in Australia. I don't know if FMT's are helpful for all IBS patients (the research is not there yet) but anecdotally it seems like the most desperate IBS patients end up trying it to varying efficacy. I can't recommend FMT as I'm sure everyone's pathology is different and there are more traditional therapies that may work such as low FODMAP, rifaximin, or meds that increase/decrease intestinal transit time. For me, all of those therapies are embarrassingly ineffective and I think that IBS patients should at least know that FMT therapy is a thing; since it has lead to remission for many community members which gives hope that there may finally be a treatment for the most desperate.
So the FMT helps in my case as well as the BPC-157 which someone else linked in the comments. I was quite surprised when my resting heart rate and blood pressure returned to my pre-disease levels within a day or two of starting the peptides. I have probably tried 3 or 4 dozen drugs at this point (mostly doctor recommended but also some from my own research); none to any effect, so seeing quick results from this new compound was shocking. I now also have more of type 2-3 stools rather than the unescapable type 1 that has plagued me ever since the diseases' inception. So that's good. I've only been using the peptides for a month so don't know what to expect. I am hoping if I can mega dose with some FMT and keep using the peptides maybe I could get into remission. Who knows. Luckily I am able to function as an engineer again for the first time in years (the brain fog is less remarkable now) so I am hoping things will return to normal but only time will tell. I hope this information is helpful but feel free to reach out if you have questions or just would like to chat because I know how lonely and lost in translation these type of health maladies can be.
- radicaldreamer 5y agoDoes BPC-157 have to be injected? (I thought peptides were fragile and need to be refrigerated typically)
- nikkwong 5y agoI don't know the answer to that; I inject mine, I have read that other people squirt them into their mouth, which I have not tried yet. The results are just so good from injecting it that I can't imagine ingesting it orally being better; but I should give it a shot.
- vimy 5y agoYou can take it orally for gut problems.
