Evaluation and Discussion
| Transplant Evaluation:. | Moderate improvement of symptoms |
| Pre- and post-transplant flora balance test changes:. | [Before implantation] Performed in May 2018. The flora balance appears to be such that functional dyspepsia is suspected. Although the ratio of bifidobacteria is ideal, there is little diversity of the immune-regulating Clostridium genus. [During transplantation] June 2018. There is a noticeable proliferation of bacteria resistant to medications, probably due to some influence (e.g., medication). There is a good suspicion of the presence of Clostridium spp. etc., which have not yet appeared on the balance sheet and which have been diversified by transplantation. [After transplant] Implemented in December 2018. The diversity of Clostridium genus has improved and the balance is improving. A few more improvements and the start of an increase in lactobacilli and bifidobacteria groups will lead to further improvement of symptoms. |
| Blood test changes:. | ［After transplantation] None |
| POMS2 SCORE CHANGE:. | ［After transplantation] None |

| Retrieved June 2018 After the transplant, I felt the effects of the transplant as there was less gas buildup in my intestines. However, as the period of time has passed since the end of the transplant, I feel that I am not feeling it as much. I try to manage my food intake and eat yogurt every day. |
| Adverse events: No |
| Nothing |
