@epm I had the fmt performed in March of 2019 via colonoscopy at a local hospital. I live in New Jersey. The fmt came from a company but I don't remember the name. The result was almost immediate! What I don't know is why the doctors wait until a patient has had 3 or 4 relapses before they will perform the fmt! Personally, I think it's the pharmaceutical industry that has the control because if they did the fmt after the first or second relapse, they wouldn't have the patients taking all the drugs such as vancomycin! The pharmaceutical industry would miss out on all the money. When I first got sick, I didn't have prescription coverage and I paid $1000 for 40 pills! That's just my opinion. Anything else you want to ask, feel free.
