Arrgh! I ordered the whals protocol but it wasn't in my po box today. I'm really excited to get into that but am about two weeks into "The Paleo approach" diet and lifestyle. There are some things in her regimen that I can't follow strictly at the moment. The Circadian rhythm aspect being one of them. Can't say I feel that much better but I'll stick with it for at least 4 months just to make sure. Not sure if you've read it but it's a super thorough and comprehensive approach for every type of auto immune condition. The major issue obv is that it pays no mind to LSD or NSD and to a certain extent, sort of discredits its validity. I've read too many nsd success stories to dismiss it myself. NSD didn't help as much as I was hoping it would. Even with the complete elimination of dairy. Maybe I didn't give it a long enough go. I did it for only about 1 and a half months.
This lady had good but limited success on the GAPS diet but is really happy with her progress on the paleo approach. Her symptoms were very similar to mine reagrding pain levels and sleep times before waking from pain etc.
http://www.phoenixhelix.com/paleo-autoimmune-protocol/I discussed that same topic with my friend in about the gut test. Regardless of where my it's at, I'm striving really hard to fix and optimize my gut lining and microbiome anyways. He made one good point. If my gut is already currently completely screwed, I might be more inclined to try an antibiotic protocol and then fix my gut up afterwards.(hopefully) If it's in so so shape, I might be better off just trying naturally with food and supps. But there are sooooo many tests that one can do. False negatives and false positives are all over the place which can really throw us off. And as you said, they steal valuable, hard earned money away from the one potential "magic pill" in FMT's. Paul Jaminet and Dr. Ayers are very confident in their efficacy. The only place I've found is in London at roughly about 10k. I assume we would fall into the "more stubborn and refractory cases" fees category. Accommodation inclusive? Diet might be tough to follow out of a hotel room. Maybe for rent by owner with a kitchen?

There's a dr. in Calgary treating c.difficile with heavy amounts of triple coated poo PILLS. I doubt they will A-ok that for AS any time soon.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/poop-pills-can-treat-c-difficile-calgary-doctor-says-1.1895079 I'm saving the FMT for my last line of defense. Have you seen the DIY FMT on youtube?
I just got my pro-3 and potato starch today. Took one tsp PS, 1 pro-3, and 1 prescript assist. I didn't have time to get the primal defense one as I have to drive to The States to grab all of this stuff. Tons o' veggies and fermented foods on top of all of that and I'm hoping for the best.
I PM'd my email to you.
