Testimonials
One of the more popular blogs that gives people instructions on how to do FMT at home also has several testimonies recorded. It is run by Tracy Mac of Australia (outside the reach of the U.S. FDA): The Power of Poo. She has an active Facebook Group that is by invitation only to protect members’ privacy. She has links to how-to videos. There are many other recorded testimonies of FMT cures from home treatments found on the Internet, including this one who states:
I have not had a flare since then, nor am I taking any prescription immune-suppressing or anti-inflammatory drugs, herbal supplements or pro-biotic,s nor am I on a highly restricted diet like Gluten-Free or the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD).

Yes, I believe so, referring especially to a condition that has lain dormant but then suddenly becomes active. "flare-up" is more usual in my experience.
