I ate poop! With the help of I ate 23 pills of poo from a donor with a "stomach of steel" (who was also kind enough to poop into a blender). I had no negative effects or nausea. This was a DIY fecal transplant to hopefully help my really persistent stomach issues. 1/

I'm not sure how long it'll take to see if it works, I'm guessing anywhere from 48 hours to 3 months.

I'm curious to see if it helps with anxiety. I get occasional "physical" anxiety - random anxiety feelings with no cause that I suspect is tied to the gut (e.g., drinking kombucha makes me feel panicky). 3/

I'm also curious about acne - for my entire adult life I've struggled with persistent hormonal acne, and I've tried a lot of different things *really hard*, with only middling success. I've suspected for a while this might also be tied to gut issues!

And lastly, and most loosely, I'm wondering about brain fog and energy. I tend to be really low energy and often feel like I'm thinking through a cloud. My donor, on the other hand, is super clear and really high energy (as well as no-acne and no-anxiety). Maybe it's a gut thing?

How did you find the donor?
Is there a service for this or a forum where people exchange their shit?

Update: Inconclusive. The month or so after this I did seem to have a better stomach, but was still within typical variance. I ended up having to take antibiotics, which immediately destroyed my stomach and its been bad since then, so idk.
I'm planning on trying again though! twitter.com/Aella_Girl/sta…
