We are one of the only clinics in the world offering fecal transplant capsules for resistant C diff infections. While retention enemas are a very useful tool, some people have difficulty retaining the enemas or have other objections to receiving the therapy rectally.
We worked hard to develop an encapsulation protocol that is safe and effective, following the pioneering work of Dr Thomas Louie. Using fecal material from one of our healthy, pre-screened donors, or the screened donor of your choice, we use a centrifuge to separate the bacteria from the fiber, proteins and bacterial waste products present in stool, and then triple encapsulate the bacterial extract. Emerging clinical data indicates an excellent cure rate from a single administration of the capsules.
Located in Portland, Oregon, we are one of the only clinics in the United States providing FMT by orally administered pill.
