Post-surgery recovery / Successful FMT transplant
During my spine injury this year, I reached out for community support from various supplement companies and health providers. Having previously been diagnosed with celiac, I knew how powerful FMT could be in strengthening the immune system and supporting recovery from autoimmune issues.
As I struggled with nerve damage, chronic pain, and worsening GI problems, and eventually required surgery after 8 months, I was very aware that anesthesia and post-op medications (painkillers, antibiotics, etc.) would take a toll on my system.
In the past, probiotics and GI support had helped reduce inflammation and pain for me, and I’d also used FMT successfully after my initial celiac diagnosis when I had lost 30–40 pounds.
So, I wanted to do FMT both before and after my lower lumbar spine surgery to give my body the best chance at healing.
Ivan at Microbioma was wonderful to work with.
The kit was shipped quickly, and the donor quality was thoroughly screened, he even provided detailed pre-screening reports of the bacteria profile before sending.
After the first treatment, I noticed an immediate difference: more energy, less pain and healthier digestion heading into my surgery. Post-surgery, after finishing medications, I was able to do another round and I genuinely believe it was a huge ally in my quick recovery.
It can be very difficult to find trustworthy suppliers, but Microbioma was professional, transparent, and supportive throughout the process. I know they often have a waitlist, but in my experience, it was more than worth it.
Highly recommend for anyone considering FMT.
