I am really grateful to the clinic for pioneering and making this treatment available in the UK. First just to say that the staff are absolutely first class. They are compassionate, instantly putting you at ease and are almost as invested in your recovery as you are.
I have had debilitating gut health and mental health issues for many years that I just haven't been able to resolve through my doctor or the usual health and wellbeing routes and was in quite the downward spiral. I have had many long courses of antibiotics since I was a teenager for my skin which I think may have played a significant part and more recently treatments for SIBO. It's now been 6 months since my initial FMT.
After about a month after I felt I was having odd days unaffected by low mood and by three months feeling good almost daily and am finding myself more social and connected with friends and family. The digestion has improved drastically too on a more gradual basis and I am now eating a full and varied diet able to go to restaurants and order what I like without fear of repercussions. Skin although not too bad at the point of treatment has also benefitted. Sleep is potentially the last sticking point which although still problematic has equally improved a lot relative to the beginning.
It's also helped to do my own self care alongside, really prioritising exercise (once I had the energy to do so), yoga therapy and diet (once I could start eating more foods) to help manage the (very positive) changes within myself as the transplants have taken effect.
I am so glad that I decided to go ahead with this and I am enjoying getting my life back on track. In retrospect too, the slight reservation around the ick factor of the transplant was a complete non-issue in the end and I am even quite happy to talk about it openly with friends and family now 😅
