[Questionnaire]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Q1. How much did you know about the relationship between gut microbiota and health?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

I had a general idea that it was related to health and disease.<\/p>\n\n

Q2. How much did you know about Gut Microbiota Transplantation (FMT)?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

I had heard about it on TV and the internet.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

Q3. How did you first learn about our association\u2019s Gut Microbiota Transplantation program?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

I found out about it on the internet.<\/p>\n\n

Q4. What was the deciding factor for choosing to undergo Gut Microbiota Transplantation through our association?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

I have struggled with SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) for many years and decided to try it because I heard there are cases of improvement.<\/p>\n\n

Q5. Before deciding to undergo the transplant, were there any points of hesitation or concerns you had?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The cost was high, and I wasn\u2019t sure if it would really be effective.<\/p>\n\n

Q6. From the time you applied for the transplant to after it was completed, was the explanation and support provided by the medical institution sufficient?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The explanations and support were sufficient, and I was able to proceed with the transplant with a clear understanding and confidence.<\/p>\n\n

Q7. After undergoing the transplant, how did your symptoms change?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Before the transplant, I took herbal supplements to reduce the number of bacteria.
During the herbal treatment period, about 70% of my symptoms improved. However, once the transplant began and I stopped taking the herbs, my symptoms worsened.
I ended up using the herbs alongside the transplant. Even after completing the sixth transplant, I still experienced symptoms of SIBO, which honestly left me feeling disappointed.
The frequency of loose stools decreased, but on the other hand, I started having harder stools.
Since it has been about a month since the transplant ended, I want to observe my condition a little longer.<\/p>\n\n

Q8. After the transplant, are there any lifestyle habits or mindsets you consciously maintain to support and preserve the gut bacteria that have now become your allies?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Avoid refined sugars. Avoid sweets. Eat appropriate portions.
Get sufficient sleep. Practice reverse diaphragmatic breathing whenever I notice it.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

Q9. In the future, would you consider receiving regular transplants to maintain your health?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

I don\u2019t really want to continue it.<\/p>\n\n

Q10. Would you consider recommending the transplant to someone you know?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

I would like to let others know about it as one of the available options.<\/p>\n\n

Q11. Please leave a message for the donor who provided the stool for your transplant.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

I am grateful. However, to be honest, I wasn\u2019t very pleased with the information about tobacco and alcohol.<\/p>\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n

Thank you very much for taking the time to complete the questionnaire.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
