Considering Fecal Transplant for IBS, Need Advice

I haven't done a lot of research yet but I am curious to know if anyone has done or thought about doing the Fecal Transplant for their IBS? I'm really considering asking my docs because I keep getting denied for higher treatment for my mental health (depression, anxiety and ARFID), all of which play a HUGE role in my IBS. Just grasping at straws at this point... I'm kind of stuck on what to do next..

I have done an FMT and it made me infinitely worse off. I would not recommend it to anyone. However I have SIBO which is what doctors have explained why my reaction was so terrible. I advise you to be VERY CAREFUL with FMT. I’d do anything to go back and not do that

oh no I'm so sorry to hear it didn't work. That's so saddening. I appreciate the advice so much.
