Side-effects such as bloating, wind, cramping, constipation, fatigue, low fever, loss of appetite and generalised detox symptoms are commonly reported. Some people have no side effects.
Listen to your body and do NOT dismiss serious symptoms that cause you distress as a ‘healing crisis’ or ‘die-off’. Remember that even if such symptoms are a healing crisis or die-off, it may be necessary to reduce or stop treatment to relieve the stress on your body.
Side effects are one of the many reasons why it is recommended you undertake FMT in consultation with a health practitioner. If something goes wrong, or if you simply have concerns and questions, you will need someone to talk to. While it’s helpful to speak with others in a discussion group online, be aware that their advice is on an “all care, no responsibility” basis. In contrast your health practitioner has your medical history, a duty of care and legal responsibility.
