I had FMT due to chronic constipation
I had FMT due to chronic constipation. After the operation, I had sudden abdominal pains that came and went for the first 2 weeks. I don't know the reason but it went away after 2 weeks. I was hopeless for the first 2 weeks because it didn't seem to be working but after 2 weeks I started to see a significant difference. Still, I was expecting a more miraculous improvement.
I saw from Google comments that the doctor was a very experienced and good doctor. I had the chance to talk to the doctor for 2-3 minutes before the operation. I asked the doctor, as far as I knew before, a drug that slows down bowel movements is given before FMT, will you give it too? He said it wasn't necessary but I was still a little nervous because I was afraid that the FMT Liquid given would come out like diarrhea.
He said that I pass gas while passing through the intestines so don't be nervous, you won't have gas or diarrhea. In fact, I didn't go to the toilet for 3-4 hours after the operation that day. After 3-4 hours, I had a very small amount of stool and after that stool, I didn't poop for another 5-6 days.
I fell into a very soft sleep while starting the operation, it was very nice :)) When I woke up, it was as if I had just fallen asleep. I didn't feel any pain or discomfort. I wish there was a little more time to sleep there, I would have slept deeply :)) But it is a rather busy hospital and that's why they discharge you immediately after you wake up and can stand up.
They said you can start drinking water half an hour - 45 minutes after the operation and start eating 2-3 hours later. I didn't have any problems with eating either. But my advice to those who will have FMT is to eat healthy before and after the treatment... Because after the treatment starts to show its effect, you see that you start to go back to your old self after eating badly for a long time. Of course, the process is different for everyone, but someone I know had it done for Psoriasis, after months of heavy alcohol use, his psoriasis came back and he came to Turkey to have FMT again.
I deducted 1 star because I couldn't sleep longer in the hospital :))
