How FMT Helped One Woman Read Emotions and Normalized Sound and Touch Sensitivities
What would it take for you to consider a Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT)? Amanda was 28 when she sought out an FMT at a clinic in Argentina to address her gut issues and psoriasis, but she was surprised when it drastically improved her sensitivity to sounds and touch, her ability to read other people's emotions and improved her social awkwardness -- qualities that she believes in retrospect were symptoms of autism.
