An FYI for everyone ..

You can donate $99 to the American Gut project (there's also project for the UK and Europe) and they will send you a kit and actually test your bacteria and give you a report. I see this as an incredible method of knowing whether you (or your donor) harbor the correct mix and type of bacteria for a self transplant.

Perhaps, even though you're a PD sufferer, maybe your bacteria is fairly normal. If so you there's no need to look into this any further.

The samples of the printout they send you do NOT seem to show the Enterobacteriaceae bacteria but the detailed sheets that they post for you in the Internet does. perhaps they would list it if it were in the top bacterias in your sample.

Here's an interesting site about bacteria and maybe even some tips you can use to revise your bacteria.

In short, the research link in the first post indicates that PD patients have little Prevotellaceae bacteria and a lot of Enterobacteriaceae bacteria.

So, test yourself to see if your pattern is similar to the finnish study. Get a donor tested to make sure you're getting pretty normal bacteria. After that I'll leave it to your imagination.
