He trained under Thomas Borody in Sydney and has an interest in dysbiosis/FMT. The appointment was disappointingly brief -- about 10 minutes, $300 -- but he basically said my gut is in a terrible state, due to a Strep + Prevotella undergrowth, and a lack of any good bacteria.
He offers an 8-week program to treat the dysbiosis: first, kill off the overgrowth with antibiotics. Then:
Week 1 (Dysbiosis) = Ultraprobioplex, Parex, Bactrex
Week 2 (Microbiome) = UltraBiotic IBS, Mutaflor, Ultraflora digest, Multigest, ACV
Week 3 (Visceral Hypersensitivity) = Biovea, Calm X, Zinc, Probex, Adrenoplex
Week 4 (Leaky Gut) = Glutagenics, L-Arginine, Vit D3, Omega Trienols, Probiozyme
The whole program costs $800 and I'm already in debt, with no income source. I'm wondering if it's worth it. My symptoms are completely disabling, but he wasn't able to tell me if certain issues (neurological symptoms -- balance problems etc.) are originating from the gut. My concern is how much better I can expect to feel from all of it, i.e. if the gut problems will just recur, and also how much they might be contributing to my CFS.
Alternatively, I can wait to see the CFS doctor who ordered the test to see if she can offer a cheaper alternative program.
There's also FMT ...
