Hello everyone. I’ve just joined in this conversation after 55+ years of gut distress which started after a year of ‘preventative’ antibiotic treatment for cystitis in the early 60s. I feel I’ve come to the end of the road. Almost. I would be more than happy to delve into my savings for a faecal transplant, if I felt that I was having it administered be the best provider around and the donors are well screened. I know there are risks with commercial establishments. And I suspect they are present too in research programmes. However, I would be so grateful if anyone reading this is in a position to refer me to to a research programme which might accept me as a guinea pig. I live in London, but would be prepared to travel to a research project anywhere in the UK

1. You would need to state what condition(s) you’re trying to treat with FMT. Eg: there is a CFS FMT trial soon in the UK: https://wonderful.org/fundraiser/letscresearch-34303158
2. Clinical trials have been using poor quality donors despite extensive efforts by myself to remedy that. They often do not provide enough information about their donor(s) to be able to determine donor quality. For these reasons I have not participated in a clinical trial, and warn people about participating in them. More info: https://archive.ph/2Y4ol
Due to the donor quality issue, microbioma.org was started up to try and find higher quality donors whose quality can be verified. I believe the portion of the project in Spain has a decent donor.

Crumbs, just seen my actual name appear in my post. Assumed it would only be my crazy username! Feel a bit exposed. Oh, well, if it leads to someone responding with helpful advice, it doesn’t matter.
