5. 14-Day Progress Tracker

A one-page visual tracker that captures the arc of recovery across the first two weeks after FMT at a glance; fill it in each evening.

This tracker gives a single-page visual overview of the first 14 days following FMT induction. Unlike the daily diary, which records detailed clinical data, this tracker captures the overall trajectory of recovery at a glance. Complete it each evening.

How to use

Each day, rate your overall wellbeing on a 0–10 scale (0 = very unwell, 10 = normal/well). Circle or record your Bristol Stool Type. Note any standout event. Review the expected pattern below.

Expected pattern after FMT induction

Days 1–2: Variable. Some patients feel improved immediately; others experience an initial dip as ecological competition begins.

Days 3–5: The ecological competition peak. Symptoms (bloating, altered frequency, fatigue) often intensify. This is the expected 'flare window' and does not indicate treatment failure.

Days 6–9: Competition resolves. Symptoms typically begin to stabilise. Stool consistency moves toward Bristol Type 3–4.

Days 10–14: Consolidation begins. Wellbeing scores generally trend upward. Remaining symptoms are usually mild.
