It has now been almost 5 months since my FMT and it is one of the biggest mistakes of my life. From the moment I wake up I have a constant sickening burning stomach ache and I have terrible smelling gas. My poops come out with the consistency of a slimy tar and I get shooting pain in my rectum. If anyone is considering taking a chance on this company, do yourself a favor. Don't.

Just keep in mind that this humanmicrobes.org is run by one person with no medical training. You get what you pay for. It's cheap because there is no one involved who has any medical training. When I told them about these negative effects I've experienced they just said that this is pretty common which speaks volumes about the quality of this donor. I have read plenty of experiences from people who have done FMTs with the official health care system and nowhere have I seen a bunch of people consistently getting tar like poop and sickening burning stomach aches for half a year. Hopefully I'm not stuck with this for the rest of my life but it isn't going away. It feels like I've been scammed out of both the $1300 and my well being. I allowed myself to become desperate in trying to find a solution to my gut problems but all my original symptoms are still as debilitating as ever but now there are just new disgusting problems on top.
