Taymount Clinic

(Written December of 2018 after receiving treatment at the Taymount Clinic in September of 2018 - Update at the bottom). To say that my FMT treatment from the Taymount Clinic has been life-changing would be an understatement. I chose to have an FMT treatment as a flicker of hope to help abate my celiac symptoms that persisted even with a gluten free diet and were possibly caused by antibiotic dysbiosis. My symptoms were mainly headaches, nausea, stomach pain, fatigue, brain fog, and chronic UTIs. During the course of treatment, I noticed several immediate improvements in my symptoms. My nausea and stomach pain were the first to go, headaches and fatigue disappeared as well, I also became much more relaxed and less anxious, which were issues I hadnt even realized I had due to everything else I was suffering from. The biggest change was that my unexplained chronic muscle pain of the past 15-20 years started to disappear. I have lived my entire adolescent and adult life in fear of doing anything because I knew it would result in pain. By the time I finished my 2 week treatment at the Taymount Clinic, I was no longer in pain. This has given me a quality of life that I havent experienced since I was a child! Since coming home, Ive had the stamina and energy to do things my chronic pain had prevented me from doing before, like snorkeling, scuba diving, and boogie boarding. I've even been able to do simple things again without hesitation, like cooking, exercising, and folding laundry, which used to result in exhaustion and pain. Ive noticed several other changes since coming home as well. Ive started putting on a little weight, which was needed (Ive always been quite frail), but the weight hasnt been around my middle, it's more muscular weight and filling out my frame. My menses has been a lot less painful every month and seems to be behaving more normal and regular. My hair and nails are growing faster and stronger, my eyelashes have gotten longer. My skin seems more elastic and my bruises and scrapes heal faster, even my dark circles under my eyes have started to fade. I feel like I am free to eat again! Previously it didnt matter what I ate - there would be some sort of stomach pain. That pain is gone and I seem to be tolerating all foods again aside from gluten. One of the best improvements in my celiac symptoms is that, previously, cross-contamination of gluten would result in flu-like symptoms for a week and then exhaustion and brain-fog would last for about a month. In the few times that Ive gotten cross-contaminated food with gluten since my FMT treatment, symptoms have been not only mild, but only last for 12-48 hours (if I get any symptoms at all - sometimes I dont) and then my body recovers. My chronic UTIs became less frequent and less severe, and Im ecstatic to report that I havent had any UTI symptoms for 2 whole weeks. Have things been completely perfect since coming home? Of course not, but bad days are now few and far between, and have gone from being a full body in pain, to a much more localized issue here and there. I notice that most of the time, its because Im not getting enough diversity in my diet, which is an easy remedy. All-in-all, Im so glad to have gone to the Taymount clinic and received an FMT - I only wish I had done it sooner! It has given me a quality of life that I thought I could only wish for. I cant express enough how much I appreciate the care, comfort, patience, understanding, and education the clinicians provided to me during my time there. A huge "thank you!" to Taymount. I truly could not have asked for a better experience. UPDATE: After dealing with a nasty round of antibiotics in early 2022, I started struggling with stamina and IBS issues. I decided to do another round of treatment last October. 7 months later, I'm back to my "new" normal self again. The staff was so incredibly patient with all of my questions! Annie and staff were so wonderful to work with and easing any questions/concerns I had during the process! So glad to have found Taymount!

I had a series of 10 treatments here in Fall 2022. Immediately the problems with my gut went away. No more bloating, better nutrient absorption and all my other gut/elimination issues went away. I'm deeply grateful for the professionalism of the staff. It was a big decision for me as I traveled there from the United States, but it was THE best decision ever for me. These are good folks who know what they're doing!

My experience at the Taymount Clinic has been truly incredible. I was seriously sick with rapidly progressing neurological problems and nearly didn't make it back in February (which was later to be confirmed by geneticist as undiagnosed Wilson's Disease). Having received no help at all from mainstream doctors I had no choice but to try and help myself. FMT proved the final piece of the puzzle for me (I had been on various supplements and a strict diet prior to this which had stabilized me but I was still experiencing very worrying symptoms) and now my neuro issues have completely gone into remission. Aside from that I'm much less bloated, have far less pain and stiffness overall, can walk more easily again and have more energy too! I honestly didn't really have much hope for the future before I visited the Taymount so I'm so thankful that places like this exist and that they also have an exceptional and lovely team to carry out this pioneering work (special thanks to Annie who was my amazing therapist!).

I finished my FMT course last November for eczema, histamine intolerance and food sensitivities. My life at the time was so small, I was limited to the certain foods and this was list was getting smaller. I was in so much discomfort, my skin covered in eczema and histamine rashes would burn as the day progressed. I was struggling to work, to have a life other than surviving. 4 months on I am amazing! I look and feel fantastic. My skin is beautiful, I am eczema free and can eat all foods again. My life has opened up, I am happy and confident, I honesty feel reborn. I cant thank the staff at the clinic enough. They were all so kind, supportive and made me feel so comfortable and welcome throughout the treatment. Annie in particular was amazing, many times she saw me in tears, at my lowest, frightened the FMT wouldnt work, she was so caring and kind. I have my life back but better and I am so very very grateful, thank you, a big hug to you all
