Always an interesting read.<br /><br />I've had first hand experience of fecal microbiota transplant alleviating mental health symptoms, including anxiety. I attribute it to the reaction I had to an overgrowth of streptococcus in my gut, as identified via a fecal diversity test. Strep has a bad reputation stirring up mental health problems in kids (PANDAS = Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcus) and I have experienced this first hand as an adult. <br /><br />In addition to this, many people in our facebook fecal transplant group have experienced varying degrees of relief from mental health symptoms when treating their gut problems. Unfortunately the medical profession likes to segment parts of the body so does not tackle this problem holistically. The only evidence I needed to convince me that mine was a poop problem, not a brain problem, was that the minute I emptied my bowel I felt sane for an hour afterwards. I could not wait to get a poop transplant. It saved my life as I would have killed myself the symptoms were so bad. <br /><br />If anyone is interested in learning more about what real people with real medical problems are experiencing from poop transplants - please visit thepowerofpoop.comTracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08748825763575105384noreply@blogger.com
