There’s a lot of research and reports of improvement of many other disorders. I think I only read one person who had tried but there’s so many factors going into it so I don’t know how good it was. We talk about the gut and what we eat and how it can worsen our symptoms. FMT is the fastest way to alter the microbiome.
how do you know that we are all aware what this acronym means?

I think this would be well worth trying if decent donor would be found. Anymore experiences to share about this subject?
I am probably going to try this. I have a pretty healthy extrovert friend with strong libido. I will do it for all my food intolerances in the first place. I dont expect it has an impact on pfs. But if so, that would be great.
How would you do it, I mean logistically?
I currently live in Turkey and we have a hospital that does this. But unfortunately I forgot this friend regulary take antibiotics.
Microbioma.org offers tablets. Very expensive. Around 10k€. But since I always had a damaged gut and dysbiosis, I probably will pay the price. I never could fix it with diet.
I dont know yet tbh. I have to contact the hospital in Turkey and ask for details. Normally I live in Germany. So if the hospital thing will not work, ı will travel to Germany and order from microbioma. Since Turkish customs wont let that pass.
Can you give us more details abour your microbiome?
What you mean about my microbiome.
I can tell that after taking finasteride, I became histamine intolerant. As many stated before, I believe that finasteride changes the microbiome. And then the downward spiral starts.
Whatever. I ordered 2 sets of FMT. And will start in January with the treatment. Mainly for my gut issues.
In the meantime I had a 10 day recovery 3 weeks ago. I still feel kind of half recovered but took something (Pregnenolone) that messed me up for couple days. Pregnenolone gives me migraines anxiety and depression. So I would say when the effects of the dose I took pass, I hope I will feel good again.
All I did was starting 100mg riboflavin 6 weeks ago. I feel like this stuff does something. The body needs it for methylation. And our methylation process is broken from fin. It can not harm to try it.
I meant your microbiome test results… the profile
Your gonna do FMT from microbioma?
I dont have a test result. I never got breastfed so I never really had a good microbiome in the first place. So I think this is my chance to get one. Yes I bought from microbioma. Quite expensive. There are people making it DIY but I dont have the knowledge to DIY. And dont have a donor.
Can you give an update here? Did the microbioma pills help? 
Hey, did you ever try FMT? If so, how’d it go?
@anon73159565 sorry, sounds like you got the pills. How’d it go? Hoping you got cured if you haven’t been back
I did it, took capsules from a clinic in Amsterdam. My libido was very strong for quite awhile after. Mood energy slightly better but that may have just been cause i was on vacation. Benefits seem to have faded months later though
How many pills did you take? I’m interested in giving it a go
I took 20-something capsules in one go. Very quick and easy
Wonder if that implies a persistent bacteria that overrides the gut and/or a bodily feedback loop that regardless of the gut conditions if it continues so as long as a small amount of the bacteria is present again then it just repopulates and dominates the microbiome as well as produces counter productive metabolites from food or otherwise that only make the situation worse.
This may have something to do with my cinnamon improvement recently. A compound it in it could be reducing the output metabolites of a problematic bacteria in either the stomach/small intestine/large intestine. Recently after eating some fried rice and shrimp from a Chinese place I got that familiar gut responsive brain burn effect which if bad enough could lead to in my case libido and cognitive dysfunction. Within 10 minutes of ingestion, cinnamon knocked it right out of the park which implies the target wasn’t far off. Reducing seed oils in my diet normally to a bare minimum also benefited me and simply consuming carbs alone doesn’t do the thing. Too much rice will make me obviously feel pretty foggy and generally blah. But fried food in seed oils very often combined with high carbs appears to be a disaster if the load is too high and it goes on too long. Another specific thing diet wise that contributes to my symptoms is soy sauce (specifically soy alone as in simply eating edamame doesn’t do anything) and tofu. You could say glutamate toxicity but I’ve tried coconut aminos in just as much of an amount in a dish and it didn’t really do anything. Both could have the same general pre-packaging ingredients that are like seed oils able to feed the bacteria responsible and cause a rapid influx toxic metabolites that the body can’t deal with especially if this whole conditions involves heavily screwing up the body’s ability to process and excrete them. Last night at the movie theater I decided to try a bunch of popcorn but this didn’t specifically induce the thing either. Though early on there was much going on that this didn’t even seem to really begin to matter until months later down the line when I was out of severe territory which was a month or so out from my second major crash from retrying lions mane.
I considered a FMT but I very likely have severe leaky gut and a compromised immune system so it’d probably be dangerous for me with even the safest doner.
