Another option for people is to have a fecal microbiota transplant.

"Conclusions:
Subjects with Parkinson's disease tolerated multi-dose-FMT, and experienced increased diversity of the intestinal microbiome that was associated with reduction in constipation and improved gut transit and intestinal motility. Fecal microbiota transplantation administration improved subjective motor and non-motor symptoms."

- account-5 3y agoA good ol' turdtrade.

- falcor84 3y agoWait, what? As far as I understand, there's a donor and a receiver - I don't see any reason for this to loop back.
- dartos 3y agoYet
- LinuxBender 3y agoMaybe I'm too chicken to receive someone elses poo but I took what I consider to be the more scientifically controlled middle ground, mixing large amounts of probiotics with MCT oil and using it rectally. 36 strains, about 2 trillion CFU. To my surprise I have found several doctors that love this idea and one that also does it. It's not as diverse and that is exactly why I do it. I know what cultures I am getting and what benefits each one has. Or maybe I have discovered a fetish.
- andai 3y agoFascinating, hadn't heard of MCT nor rectal administration of probiotics (save for FMT). Do you get them in pills and then mix it with coconut oil or what? (Or does it need to be pure MCT)
- LinuxBender 3y agoI open the capsules and mix them. I've tried to get the company to sell me a bag or can of the probiotics but they won't do it. Not a big deal though, it doesn't take long to open them. I just use the large containers of coconut MCT oil. If there is something that would be better for the bacteria and for the large intestine cells I would love to know.
- andai 3y agoHeh they're probably scared you'll start selling the ass formula!
- LinuxBender 3y agoHurry up and trademark that.
- yellow_lead 3y agoWhats your benefit from this? Do you credit it with any GI improvements?
- Aurornis 3y agoThere are online communities of people attempting FMT on themselves. I remember seeing them even cite an online source of FMT supplies from some sketchy company operating internationally to avoid regulations. Others used very understanding family members or friends as sources. I haven’t followed the topic for a long time, but I distinctly remember how many people were disappointed with the results of their self administered FMT. This is probably because they had unreasonable expectations about their health conditions being caused by the microbiome. The only real success stories were from people who had C. Diff and treated it with a combination of antibiotics and FMT. However, there were a lot of negative stories. Some people had major bowel problems for a while. One person even died, though it was speculated that it was due to some of the microbiome altering antibiotics he was experimenting with. Interesting research topic, but please don’t DIY it.
- andai 3y agoThe guy who died wasn't DIYing it. > The first person known to die as a result of a fecal transplant is a 73-year-old man who developed a fatal infection with antibiotic-resistant bacteria that were in the donor's stool sample. > News of the man's death surfaced in June; he was one of two patients in separate clinical trials who became ill after receiving fecal transplants from the same donor https://www.livescience.com/fecal-transplant-death.html https://www.livescience.com/fecal-transplant-death.html
