Evaluation and Discussion
| Transplant Evaluation:. | No change |
| Pre- and post-transplant flora balance test changes:. | [Before transplant] March 2018.
The clostridium is unbalanced, low diversity, and typically stressful. It is speculated that there is some suppressed stimulation of the brain, which may be a counterbalance. I believe that an improvement in the balance will improve symptoms.
[During transplantation] June 2018. The balance has improved along with the diversification of the Clostridium genus, which was a problem prior to the transplant, and I believe the balance has acquired mental calm. However, the growth of fungi and viruses may be causing a fungal shift phenomenon, pushing other fungi away on the balance graph. We recommend prescribing antifungal medications or testing for fungi and viruses. |
