I'm a big believer in the spondyloarthritis/gut connection, and I'm very curious about FMT. I just spoke yesterday with people at the Taymount Clinic, FMT providers in the UK, who said that they have performed it on a handful of patients with AS and they're still gathering data. This does not sound like a success story…YET. I'm going to keep checking in and see what kind of results over time their AS patients have. Given my medical history, I don't feel comfortable offering myself as a guinea pig, even for something I really think might help, but it's exciting and hope-inspiring to read the experiences of people who have tried it on their own, with good results.

I have Reiter's Syndrome, an HLA-B27 disease similar to AS. Diagnosed 2008. I used Humira and methotrexate until 2012, when I was diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma and given a hysterectomy and a 26% chance of 5-year survival. Cancer-free ever since I stopped taking Humira and methotrexate; trying to trust medicine again. In a mobility scooter since 2013 with joint pain and disease-related stress fractures. Uveitis. Eyes and joints flare whenever I stray from a severely limited diet (NSD+).
