📚 A list of FMT studies: The below page provides a comprehensive list of various FMT studies being conducted worldwide, highlighting the study names, their specific focuses, locations, and the institutions or individuals leading the studies.
💩 Certain criteria can disqualify individuals from becoming FMT donors, including unhealthy or irregular stool, ongoing gastrointestinal issues, chronic diseases, allergies, transmittable infections, high-risk behaviours, recent antibiotic use, immunosuppressive medication, and metabolic syndrome.
💉 The cost estimates for FMT treatments include upper and lower FMT delivery preparations ($595 per treatment), FMT capsules ($950 per dose), and screening and using your own donor ($1500 and up).
💊 FMT can be done through three delivery methods: poop pills (oral transplant), enema (lower tract delivery), and nasoenteric tube (upper tract delivery).
ℹ️ About fecal transplants: The below page offers comprehensive information on becoming a fecal transplant donor, providing everything one needs to know about the process and its implications.
🩺 Treatable illnesses: Fecal transplants have been proven effective in treating diseases such as Ulcerative Colitis (44% success rate), Crohn's Disease (61% success rate), and Autism (60% success rate), among others. The list of treatable conditions is extensive and includes conditions like Arthritis, Asthma, Eczema, Obesity, and Mood Disorders.
💉 Major risks of FMT are rare but can include intestinal perforation, physical injury during insertion, transferring parasites or pathogens, dysbiosis (unbalanced gut microbiota), and rare cases of transferring characteristics such as obesity.
🩺 FMT (Fecal Microbiota Transplant) is gaining attention as an effective alternative treatment for microbiome-related conditions such as C Diff, Colitis, Crohn's, Autism, and Obesity. The exact mechanism of how stool transplants work and their long-term effects are not yet fully understood.
