This is a super interesting thread. Any updates? I’ve been trying to modulate my gut microbiome for a year now. There’re ups and downs but generally feeling a lot better. I agree with the notion that hormones, diet, stress all have roles in shaping the microbiome.
Have anyone attempted the FMT route? There’re clinics in Sweden, Australia and the U.K. but finding a super healthy donor is crucial to success. I’m still in the research phase but this could be my next step. Antibiotics are not universal in their effectiveness meaning each class of antibiotics would be effective against certain bacteria but not the others. I’d surmise that the best approach would be to have microbiome test done first then select the appropriate antibiotic.
Science is lagging in this field. It could take as long as 10-15years or even longer from today to have viable treatments for microbiome dysbiosis.
