Thank you Marlene, I will certainly post the results! The procedure involves 10 FMTs in clinic (over 2 weeks), and they may recommend continuing with treatments at home afterwards.
From what I have read, some people's gut problems respond instantly, but others take longer, and there is the risk it won't do anything at all.

Either way I know I will have to be patient and give it several months to tell if it has done anything for my bone marrow. If it is a spectacular failure I will be very disappointed, but at least I'll know I have tried.

FMT is not available in the US but they have just opened a clinic in the Bahamas

* I have just found these couple of articles which may be of interest. This one theorising a "Brain–Gut–Bone Marrow Axis"
http://circres.ahajournals.org/conte.../1327.abstract
The researcher is Monica Santisteban https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Monica_Santisteban

and this one re microbiota regulating the immune system via bone marrow. Chapter 3 is particularly interesting.

I can't pretend I understand it all though, and it does refer to germ-free mice, not humans!
