Donor Origin

Postby Ajs » Sun Aug 05, 2018 6:21 pm

I’m scheduled for an FMT via colonoscopy on Aug 23. It will be performed at our local hospital by my GI doctor. When I asked the doctors assistant what source the Hospitol used to obtain the donor stool she didn’t know. Is this something I should look into? I just want to make sure that it’s obtained by the most affective measures and is as “alive” as possible. We really do have a great Hospitol, but none the less, I’d like to know some details. Just trying to educate myself on the very latest.

I would ask your doctor. Most hospitals use OpenBiome, which is frozen, but very effective. You have a right to know and they have an obligation to disclose the information to you.

It most likely from Open Biome.
