FMT - using Frozen Fecal , FMT Safe?

Postby Ali-Mar » Sun Mar 22, 2020 10:22 pm

Male 54 , 1st time C -Diff infection
Is it okay and common to use the frozen fecal for the FMT? My GI doctor was saying the frozen fecal are shipped from Boston the Scripps in San Diego for the transplant.

Is FMT safe?
Male 54, contracted C-Diff on Feb 5, 2020, diagnosed on March 2nd, Took Flagyl for 8 days, Vanco for 10 days, relapsed 5 weeks post-Vanco. finished Dificid Taper on June 20 relapsed two weeks later, had the FMT on July 14th, 2020

That's normal practice.
Stop stressing though, with average luck you are fine and wont need any more treatment.
