Help Me Swallow This Sh*t — Literally.
Hi, I’m Kelly — a nurse, lactation consultant, mom of two, and someone who’s been navigating a broken medical system since I was 16 and diagnosed with cancer.
Now, decades later, I’m dealing with CVID, a rare immune deficiency that’s led to too many infections to count, and a gut condition called CVID enteropathy — a painful, exhausting, and relentless form of inflammation that’s wrecked my quality of life.
The one thing that truly helped before?
Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) — yep, literally POOP.
It worked. Dramatically in 2023, I went from severely malnourished and hospitalized to better in 48 hours.
...here is where it gets effed up. Now I need it again, but this time, insurance won’t touch it. Thanks to FDA restrictions and red tape, FMT is almost impossible to access.
It is only available through a small number of private options — and that means I’m on the hook for $7,000 out of pocket.
Here’s the breakdown:
Each capsule costs $75, and I need at least 70 of them to rebuild my gut.
So if you have been watching this train wreck unfold on social media and you are like... "Damn I wish I could help"... now you can!
Sponsor some poop pills!
This treatment could give me my life back.
It means being able to get back to work helping new families, parenting my kids, being a partner to my husband, and getting to eat and sleep without constant pain or fear.
Turns out having a functioning gut sort of impacts... everything.
So if you want to help - amazing - if not, that's totally cool - also accepting all prayers and vibes you want to send.
All my love,
— Kelly
PS If you are my husband, I am sorry for constantly embarrassing you - I truly have no shame at this point.
