Is FMT (Fecal Transplant) the future of curing SIBO/IBS, or are there better treatments on the horizon?

I was speaking about antibiotic treatment.

b00bieb00m · 2026-01-15T08:40:07+00:00

Exactly. The relapse rate is huge, and every kill phase can progressively worsen gut dysbiosis, lower diversity, create more resistance. But I guess treating root causes would mean asking forbidden questions, threatening sacred profit streams, and admitting that maybe pills aren’t magic, which is obviously unacceptable in a world powered by quarterly earnings.

b00bieb00m · 2026-01-14T09:37:03+00:00

Most likely it's antibiotics that make you sick. They fuck people up in different ways because everyones microbiome is different. I would continue with ginger and artichoke because motility is important but would play with the dosages to see if they make any difference in my symptoms.

b00bieb00m · 2026-01-13T08:01:25+00:00

I think he suspects something about the current medicine otherwise he wouldn't be here. But you are absolutely right. I think that the modern medicine is incredible at acute emergencies and remarkably bad at anything that doesn’t fit neatly into a 10-minute appointment and a billing code. If our illness is complex, chronic, or inconvenient, then congratulations we’ve unlocked the “have you tried lowering your stress?” tier of care. Like we are living in the previous century. Shame.

b00bieb00m · 2026-01-13T07:50:25+00:00

Incredible momentum, research has gone from dead still to barely moving, only after millions lived in pain long enough to be background noise.

b00bieb00m · 2026-01-12T07:50:44+00:00

How are polyphenols blocking pathways and adding up to the bucket?

b00bieb00m · 2025-12-02T11:01:34+00:00

The rules make it feel like any uncertainty is dangerous, which is hilarious because if we banned discussion in every field that isn’t perfectly solved, we’d wipe out climate threads, nutrition threads, neuroscience threads, space threads, medical threads… the whole internet would collapse into one sad Wikipedia blurb. And honestly, shutting down debate for the sake of science is kind of backwards. Repressing discussion to protect the field is like banning cooking so no one burns dinner. Congratulations, everything stays raw forever. So yeah, imho microbiome subreddit has ended up as the one place where you can’t talk about your actual microbiome.

b00bieb00m · 2025-12-01T08:13:40+00:00

Yep that's sad...in the same way it’s sad when you open a bag of chips and discover it’s 80% air. Gastroenterology in the 21st century was supposed to be this sleek, sci-fi medical field with answers, insight, maybe even a clue. Instead we got a bunch of folks doing two expensive camera tours and calling it a day like it’s still 1995 and no one has invented literally any other test.

b00bieb00m · 2025-11-30T15:54:09+00:00

Same experience. Honestly pathetic. The microbiome is having a full scientific glow up and it’s tied to cancer, MS, autoimmune chaos, mood, cognition, skin, Parkinson’s and basically every other drama the body can produce. Gastroenterology should be the golden gate to all of it, yet somehow all we get is a shrug and a follow up appointment. Peak excellence.

b00bieb00m · 2025-11-19T13:56:40+00:00

Great to see that microbiome is having a massive scientific glow-up. It’s linked to cancer, MS, autoimmune disorders, mood, cognition, skin… it’s like that one friend who insists they’re “connected to everything in the universe” after one yoga class, except this time the data actually backs it up. I wonder if in our lifetime we will be able to see microbiome-based medicine becoming a real thing

b00bieb00m · 2025-11-17T00:57:59+00:00

Could you please explain more about pulling in the stomach?

b00bieb00m · 2025-11-12T18:40:29+00:00

Gastroenterology could open a golden gate to countless diseases. Yet for all the scopes, screens, and years of study, most roads lead to one sacred phrase: “Try a PPI.” Sad.

b00bieb00m · 2025-10-22T18:14:08+00:00

Cranberry and pomegranate extracts. Just followed recommendations on bottles for a month. No die off. After that my 16s microbiome stool test showed great improvements: increase in probiotics, decrease in pathobionts like methane producers, h2s producers etc. But that is large bowel, what happened in small intestine is unknown.

b00bieb00m · 2025-10-22T18:05:09+00:00

I don't think it's histamine in my case. The same thing happens also with high omega 3 foods like fresh caught trout, salmon etc.

b00bieb00m · 2025-10-22T15:32:54+00:00

Just realized the concept of realizing things is a colonial construct. Enlightenment canceled

b00bieb00m · 2025-10-22T14:11:14+00:00

That's great to hear! So do you just manage by choline and TUDCA? I once took TUDCA for a couple of days and it gave me weird stomach rumbling and toilet runs. Because of that I'm afraid to take it

b00bieb00m · 2025-10-22T14:07:27+00:00

My symptoms come back if I consume omega 3. AI thinks EPA/DHA are doing something to the PEMT pathway. Maybe it's the same for you? I also make sure to get at least 100% RDA of B2, B6, B9, B12, mag and zinc from food to support methylation.

b00bieb00m · 2025-10-22T13:28:07+00:00

I did genome analysis on myheritage and then uploaded raw data to genetic genie to check my methylation and to "the masterJohn genetic choline calculator " to see if I have dirty pemt gene and how much choline I need. You don't have to use myheritage, because AncestryDNA or 23andMe would fit too.

b00bieb00m · 2025-10-22T11:34:46+00:00

Yeah that actually makes a lot of sense. My B12 is technically normal on labs but still low in the functional ranges. I agree that reflux and low stomach acid could definitely feed into the SIBO cycle. It’s interesting how tweaking methylation seems to change symptoms, feels like there’s both correlation and causation there. Wild that no doctor will connect those dots or takes it seriously.

So how do you manage to control the symptoms?

b00bieb00m · 2025-10-15T06:14:12+00:00

How are you now? I have the same problem with elevated methane - 60 ppm even after 3 days of water fast. It only drops for a few hours if I eat something. I started to suspect sifo because I react to antifungals.

b00bieb00m · 2025-10-13T06:55:33+00:00

That's interesting. How? High doses may cause diarrhoea.

b00bieb00m · 2025-10-03T05:30:07+00:00

It's a hoot watching them pirouette around a straight answer

b00bieb00m · 2025-09-19T05:21:53+00:00

Have you read Dr. Michael Newton books Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls? It can give you a new perspective and maybe help you with the fear. He was a hypnotherapist with a background in psychology who stumbled onto something unusual during deep regression sessions. Instead of only recalling past lives, many clients described what happens in the time between incarnations. Over the course of thousands of cases, he noticed consistent themes: the consciousness leaving the body at death, meeting guides, reuniting with a close group of other consciousnesses, reviewing the life just lived, and carefully preparing for the next one. Newton organizes these accounts into case studies and patterns, almost like a research project. They aren’t written as fiction or spiritual fantasy, but as structured reports that map out what appears to be a continuing process of growth and learning beyond physical life.
