At one time is a company open biome used to allow people who had suffered C. difficile infection’s to bank their stool with open biome, so that they could receive their own healthy stool in FMT. The next best thing is to use a close blood relative, preferably one who lives with you, because you know their health habits, their standard of living, and any health problems they may have. You share their genes. The chance of successful FMT is much greater. However, open biome decided that this was no longer a practice that was economically sensible for them. It was far more efficient to use donors, even though that was far more dangerous to the recipient. If I had to have FMT because Zinplava failed, I would use my daughter a healthy 42-year-old whose grandparents on both sides lived into their 90s. She also eats all organic and has made responsible life choices. Interestingly, since open biome discontinued, their practice of stool banking and allowing family members to be their stool donor, FMT is often performed at home as a do it yourself procedure. It’s an enema, which is not as effective as doing it via colonoscopy, but it is reportedly very successful. There are apparently a lot of videos out there that explain how to do FMT at home. I haven’t looked at them yet because I am hoping Zinplava works for me again. It’s been a little over two weeks and so far so good. My recurrence was the result of my dentist, using an antiseptic to fill the canal. After a root canal and to control the swelling, he gave me a steroid. Avoid steroids they suppress your immune system. Between the two of them I was back in the soup of CDI.
