I heard that it was reported in the New York Times that two people who were given fecal transplants died and so the FDA has cut back on the number it will allow -- and if i understand it right, will only let you get one now if you are really at a terrible place. Have any of you heard this? Have any of you had a fecal transplant in last couple of months.

@annapocono I had the fmt in March of this year after having 4 relapses and hundreds of vancomycin that did nothing. I have not heard of anything negative about fmt and am glad I didn't hear this before I had it! I have been doing ok just scared of getting sick and needing an antibiotic! How did you hear about 2 people dying? And from what???
