I appreciate you sharing this information. What you’ve shared seems accurate to our current scientific consensus. You’re right that some probiotics and pathogens survive the stomach.

Honestly I did my best to research my condition but my mind was functioning quite poorly at the time and most doctors were of no help. Once I got better I may have drawn an inaccurate conclusion as to why the prior probiotics I had taken hadn’t helped whereas this one (Seed) worked so miraculously. It could simply be that the strains in that particular probiotic helped rebalance things for me whereas everything I had tried prior were not what I needed. Maybe those particular strains my gut was needing don’t survive the stomach environment well.

The probiotic that resolved my symptoms almost certainly was not placebo. That I was lucky I can agree with.

I’m sorry you’re still trying to heal your gut despite your thorough knowledge and FMT. It’s been a few years I’ve felt mostly better but I still don’t have the energy levels I did.

Antibiotics are miraculous but not a panacea and are definitely overprescribed and used unjudiciously in livestock.

I wish you the best on your healing journey. Thanks for sharing good information.
