When I go out or have a drink it's always minimal sugar and minimal gluten, sugar being the worst. I'm a whiskey fan, so its usually whiskey neat. Otherwise its a gluten free beer or mixed drink with...
For anybody interested, I have found 2 testing facilities so far. They include Genova diagnostics and Great Plains Laboratories. Metametrix used to be one but has now merged with Genova....
I am considering FT again, but would like to try a different donor to see if it may affect the results. The last time I did it, I went through my doctor to get a Diagnostecs kit for stool...
Hey Sharron, Good luck with the FT's, hope it works out well for you. I didn't have an immediate recovery, but have been improving since November. I also included RS with a plantain a day since...

Max - During all of my previous FTs my donor did not follow SCD. Next week I plan to do 5 more FTs with my donor living with me (and following SCD), I am thankful that he has been very flexible and...
More the other way around. If the donor could share the same diet as the recipient. So, if my donor would have eaten according to SCD I believe I wouldn't have had the trouble i did....
This is a great thread to read through for info and storys on FTs. http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&m=2758195 My donor went to the bathroom once a day sometimes every other, so...
I have had success performing FT's at night. Both options have pro's and con's. If done in the morning it ensures that your colon is mostly cleared out but causes the FT to stay near the rectum until...

Hey Sharron, Im sorry your doctor isn't willing to supervise, it seems like even if he considered it, it would be a long drawn out process. Have you exhausted all other options for donors? I don't...
I have slowly improved since the FTs and hope it will continue. It has been about 2 weeks now, I only question the lack of dramatic improvement. It seems that many who have had success are almost...
Hey MaxMilian, I have similar thoughts about FMT regarding relatives and similar diet. I recently finished 15 transplants over 3 weeks with a friend as the donor. During the process my symptoms were...

InSoFla, (or anyone else that knows) I was curious what your concern was with peanut butter. I have been attempting to gain weight as well, and make shakes with fruit and peanut butter. I use the...
The aspect of the SCD diet that I found beneficial was the elimination portion; slowly introducing foods after eliminating all but the "bare bones" of your diet (chicken soup). I don't think many...
