General

FMT has shown promise for various conditions, while its effectiveness can vary. We can perform it most of the time.

Generally, one dose may be sufficient for gastrointestinal issues, but multiple doses might be necessary for other conditions.

The frequency of treatments depends on the individual's condition, it may require 3-4 sessions per year or a single session. Usually, a single session. Please consult with our specialist for more information.

We might recommend repeating in 2 scenarios; First scenario is where it works for the patient and we have plenty room for improvement. This is usually for higher stages of various conditions. Second scenario is where patient is still willing to try the treatment so we change the donors and consider repeating the process.

Candidate

Short answer: it may happen, there is no guarantee of recovering fully from every each disease. Results are varying case to case, yet we observe improved symptoms most of the time.

Usually, yes. FMT could be risky for people who are using immunosuppressant drugs, have had a recent bone marrow transplant, or have cirrhosis of the liver or advanced HIV or AIDS. If you fall into one of these groups, there might be the case where you are not a good candidate.

You are not required to be tested, we test donors. You are required to give your information and history instead.

While FMT has shown bright results for various conditions, we cannot guarantee it. However, since the risks are very low and potential reward is high, we are not against giving it a try.

Donor

Yes, donors undergo periodic blood and stool tests and answer a detailed questionnaire to ensure they meet the screening criteria for contributing to your health.

The stool is usually sourced from a single donor. We can use a mixture of donors for an additional fee, please consult with our specialist.

While not routinely performed, microbiome analysis can be arranged upon specific request and for an additional cost. It will take around 40 days to complete. Please contact to our specialist to arrange one.

The clinic currently uses a pool of screened donors. In some cases, you can bring your own donor but clinic might not accept close family members as donors.

Preparation
