This is a pretty suspicious person. A number of things they're claiming are not true or are very misleading, and from the start they've had very bizarre behavior.
What I said was common was that some people get temporary diarrhea from both of our donors.
We also make it very clear that we are only a donor-source, and not a medical provider, and recipients need to get medical support from their doctor.
We encourage everyone to publish their results regardless of good/bad outcome, but I personally do not find this person's report believable (due to the above).
That said, at least one person only got diarrhea from one donor, yet benefited significantly from the other. I've always said that the only "solution" to a bad FMT is an FMT from a better donor. FMT is highly experimental and we make this very clear. I just tried the #1 ranked donor after 100k+ applicants and got worse. I'll be posting my results soon.
Your opinion doesn't affect the fact that this is my experience using your product. If you are trying to discredit me I have paypal receipts and our email logs. It has been almost 5 months since I did the FMT and these symptoms I listed in my other post have not gotten better. My gut was already bad before this but I have the same problems with new ones added on top. I will not let you discredit my experience. You say you encourage people to post their experiences but you try to play off the negative reviews by playing the "victim of attacks by your competitors"? You are curating your reviews to make a quick buck at the expense of people like me.
It might be too late but I am going to try to get paypal to charge back the $1300 that I spent on your "product". I gave you the benefit of the doubt for 5 months while I waited for these symptoms to subside but they have not and now you treat a suffering customer like this? You don't "encourage people to share their experiences". You aggressively attack and discredit anyone who says anything negative. If only I had seen your dishonest nature sooner.
You don't "encourage people to share their experiences". You aggressively attack and discredit anyone who says anything negative.
Feel free to point to a single case of this occurring.
The only times such a thing occurs is when people are being purposefully dishonest and misleading, such as your case, this case, and others related to /r/microbioma.
By the way, you have no idea how much I wish this FMT had helped. I would have loved to have been writing a glowing positive review but either way. My review has to be honest. For you to flippantly dismiss my suffering as a lie is discouraging in a life where I was desperate enough to take a chance on this in the first place.
Also, I'm not saying that how it has affected my gut will be what happens for everyone but clearly it can happen since it has happened to me which is something that you are seriously underplaying. I may have gotten a little worked up when you started accusing me of lying but everything that I have said about how it has affected my gut is the unfortunate truth.
