Where to get FMT (Fecal Microbiota Transplant)
Where to get a Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT)?
Info & reviews on worldwide FMT clinics, stool banks, and other sources of stool donors. Where to get FMT in the USA, Canada, etc. for C. difficile or other conditions or experiments.
There may be a few more not listed here due to lack of information on them. Any provider that doesn't have extensive public information is a very risky dice roll.
Everything you need to know about Fecal Microbiota Transplants (FMT).
There is no official source of FMT that can be blindly trusted. Including stool banks, clinical trials, hospitals, etc. All official sources of FMT have severe deficiencies in donor quality [1][2]. None provide proof of donor quality. Most don't even consider donor quality or put much effort into finding high-quality donors. They just use "the best they can find", which may not be better than the best you can find! The clinics don't track & report results, and stool banks & hospitals that do have significant deficits in their tracking & reporting. You must learn what it means to be a high quality donor and verify that the provided donor is high quality. If they will not verify that information with you, do not use them! You can assume that any provider that is not publicly tracking & reporting results has a large percentage of patients getting worse and developing new problems.

We encourage you to document your experiences on the forum so that people can get a better understanding of which sources are the best and worst, and what the chances are that you'll get better or worse after giving one of these places thousands of dollars.
Be very weary of most of the Facebook and Reddit groups. They are riddled with scammers, paid astroturfers, and harmful misinformation. Facebook and Reddit do not police their websites for unethical behavior. They are essentially free-for-alls for scammers, misinformation, and disinformation. The biggest FMT Facebook group is controlled by scammers, as is another one for "FMT for Autism", and another with the URL "facebook.com/groups/fecal.microbiota.transplant", and more. The same group of scammers has raided the /r/FMTClinics sub in the past, and more recently have been branching out all over Reddit. They've engaged in a targeted harassment & disinformation campaign against people who exposed them. It is not difficult to determine "who is right", simply look at the evidence.
I created this list many years ago when looking for high quality sources of FMT for myself. In late 2020 I started up HumanMicrobes.org due to the severe deficiencies covered on this page.
Where to get FMT for C. difficile
There are a large number of clinics and doctors that provide stool and/or do the procedure themselves for C. diff:
Providers & trials (US & worldwide): https://web.archive.org/web/20230601154126/https://thefecaltransplantfoundation.org/providers-trials/ - site seems to be down in 2020, but the archive link works.

OpenBiome stool bank. You can use their site to find doctors. Analysis of OpenBiome's safety and efficacy (2018). In 2021, Openbiome announced that they were shuttering operations, and partnering with the University of Minnesota. Unfortunately, the University of Minnesota has poor results.
Purety Family Medical Clinic in Santa Barbara, CA https://www.puretyclinic.com/fecal-transplant.
You can purchase directly from HumanMicrobes.org's donors. It's currently the lowest cost and highest quality option, and ships worldwide.
Where to get FMT for other conditions
Below are clinics and other providers where you can get FMT for things other than C. diff, and the info I have on them. It is an incomplete work-in-progress. Feel free to contribute to it on the Human Microbiome forum.
There are a variety around the world who do FMT themselves or refer you to tested donors. Most charge thousands of dollars and there are many reports of people paying that money and getting poor results or even being harmed. There is no relation between their cost and their quality. When I contact these clinics to try and get information to evaluate whether they're worth the money, they typically curtly decline. It seems they have more than enough desperate people coming with no questions asked that they don't bother with people who want answers first.
Most of these clinics do not have enough info on their sites for knowledgeable people to be able to vet their donors & procedures. For example, we need the kind of info in the screening questionnaire above for each clinic's donors. If you spend thousands of dollars without them proving to you that their donors & procedure are high quality you are not only gambling with your money, you are gambling with your life. In my experience, and from feedback from others, high quality donors are young (ideally under 30), athletic, zero-lifetime antibiotic usage, and have identical type 2-3 (NOT 4), dark, small, firm & dry stools.
When we do get to see more info like this video coverage of one of OpenBiome's donors we can see numerous problems, such as very low quality (type 5) stool, and a donor who in my opinion is not visibly in perfect health: https://www.cnn.com/videos/health/2015/08/25/fecal-transplant-poop-medicine.cnn
One of the most important things is actually seeing the whole stool, prior to processing. Otherwise you have no idea what the quality of the stool they are using is. Getting video/image coverage of the donors is also very helpful/important.
It seems that none of the major clinics in the US, AU, or UK have a good understanding of what makes a high quality donor, nor do they bother to collect enough data to determine the impact (safety & efficacy) of each donor. And their patients regularly post about horrible outcomes on social media.
Some of these clinics seem to be over-processing the stool. I have not seen any data suggesting this is needed/beneficial. And to the contrary, there is data suggesting that there are a wide variety of beneficial organisms and compounds in whole stool [1][2]. And processing can lead to detrimental exposures like oxygen, which kills anaerobes. Many people have reported good results from DIY at home, and those are with zero processing. Thus my current opinion is that fresh, whole stool containing all microbes and microbial byproducts in their natural environment is the best.

Taymount Clinic reviews and experiences.
After many people reported detrimental outcomes at Taymount they started making patients sign an NDA, agreeing not to publish any comments on social media without Taymount's approval. There have also been numerous reports of patients being sent legal threats by Taymount after reporting poor outcomes at the clinic. There are also anonymous accounts that make threatening comments towards people who share their poor experiences. These accounts' behavior is very similar to ones that behave the same way in favor of Microbioma.org, and much of the time, you'll see the same accounts advertising both sources [1][2].
Both Taymount and Microbioma also hired/work with the same nutritionist in Canada, Kristina Mitts. She is advertised on Microbioma's website. She wrote this clueless, highly biased/deceptive article about Taymount. The article is full of ignorance and misinformation (which is thoroughly debunked throughout this wiki), and topped off with this ludicrous, unsupported statement at the end: "The implants that patients receive at our clinic contain an ideal balance of everything that makes up a healthy gut microbiome".
12/09/2018: Some very useful info about Taymount's donors. Pretty much confirms all my concerns about their donors. There's a zero percent chance all those people are safe and effective donors. That many donors coming and going certainly helps to explain some of the widely varying results people get from them. And Taymount's protocol of using a different donor each day for 10 days doesn't allow them to know which donors are safe or effective. It also gives us a peek at their questionnaire, which of course is also a joke - "no chemotherapy in last 3 months". My god.
This July 2019 publication gives additional info/confirmation about donor screening/criteria: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2452231719300077

Procedure details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxgME7hbnJc&t=57m30s
They do FMT via enema only. Prep is colon cleansing via magnesium oxide salts, then colon hydrotherapy. They use the technique that replaces air with nitrogen when filtering the microbes during donor stool prep. They homogenize & filter out all the food almost down to microbe level size. They use a centrifuge to separate microbes. Then freeze.
In this video they refer to the process as "the full 10 days": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTIPWFysINA - this is likely way too short a time period for many/most people/conditions.
Taymount's standard procedure is to do 1 transplant from a different donor each day for 10 days over 2 weeks. In theory getting 10 different donors has its benefits, but only if they're all high quality. And current reports are poor and suggest they are not. Using this method there is no way for them to determine which donors are having what impacts. It doesn't allow them to judge the safety and efficacy of each donor.
Sounds likely that it's over-processed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvz_P_TYdGA - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOXoZGxvUzM
11/25/2017: Adrienne Grierson, who is making a film on FMT, says that both Taymount locations use the same donors, and the stool is shipped to the Bahamas from the UK, but there is no verification of this on their site.
5/13/2018: Taymount announces (via facebook) that they're opening a new location in Canada, and they'll be using frozen stool shipped from the UK location (so same donors).
11/25/2017: Taymount says lots of nice things about their donors that most laypeople find very convincing, but I haven't seen any strong evidence that their donors are high quality. We need to see the stool types and the questionnaire info for the donors. Video coverage of donors is very helpful.
01/15/2017: Taymount declined to allow patients to verify donor quality prior to committing to thousands of dollars for treatment.
IPPM Clinic:
Institute of Predictive and Personalized Medicine.
Tovarníky, Slovakia. https://www.ippmclinic.com/en/fecal-transplantation
It was reported that they were in partnership with Taymout, and sourced their stool from Taymount's donors. But as of July 2024 they've changed their website to say they use local donors.
The donors are Slovak citizens living near the laboratory
At our clinic we administer material from several donors during the course of treatment to achieve a higher diversity of intestinal flora at the end of the treatment. However, each individual rectal implant and each individual oral capsule contains material obtained from the stool of only one donor.
Their donor quality criteria seems poor:
- young age (under 30 years old)
- normal body mass index (BMI)
- a healthy and varied diet
- an active lifestyle
- no use of antibiotics or other medications*
- no smoking
It appears that they try to make up for poor donor quality with increased testing:
That's why we test our donors more frequently and more thoroughly than most competing FMT providers
We also test every single donated stool
stool undergoes a multi-stage filtration process
Their capsules are freeze-dried.
Our oral FMT capsules are based on our rectal FMT implants, which are gently stripped of water by a freeze-drying process called lyophylization
They offer rectal administration and oral capsules.
They do not publish their prices. Hearsay is that they are/were £2,179 / 2500 EUR for 5 implants or £3,970 / 4530 EUR for 10 implants, at some point.
They make misleading/ignorant statements to brush off poor results:
if the primary cause of your disease is not related to your gut flora, restoring your gut flora through FMT treatment may not have a positive effect on your condition
You can see throughout this wiki that there is no such thing as "a disease unrelated to the gut microbiome".
All donors undergo microbiome analysis to confirm that they have a balanced and diverse gut flora ideal for the needs of FMT treatment.
There is no such thing. This is a deceptive statement.
How do you test donors and their stool to make sure it’s 100% safe?
we have administered FMT treatment to hundreds of patients without a single case of serious side effects.
There is a 0% chance this is true. And without public and systematic tracking of results it's impossible to determine. If their record was that good they would be proudly displaying/publishing all their results.

For anything other than C. diff they will not do the FMT, but will refer you to their tested donors. 11/25/2017
Probably the most affordable clinic: $80 per infusion and $10 per capsule. Dry ice shipping is the most expensive part - $160. The infusions seem more cost-effective for the amount you get.
I emailed them about their procedure & donor quality and they wouldn't provide info without paying for a consult ($300) 11/25/2017. And even after the consult I didn't feel that most of my questions were answered.
From the Buzzfeed article it seems like they have one or more low quality donors, and possibly one or more high quality donors.

Microbioma.org:
Microbioma.org ships stool worldwide. It's run by someone in Spain, but seems to have numerous people backing/profiting off of it. They have similarities and shared associations with Taymount. Results are not being tracked and reported, and thus, like most other options, it cannot be trusted.
They make unsupported "super donor" claims, and put up other seemingly-ungenuine testimonials on their site. The sparse and brief experience reports have seemed 50/50 positive/negative (Update as of April 2022 it seems about ⅓rd report benefits, ⅓rd report no difference, and ⅓rd get worse). Some experiences & reviews are listed on the forum.
I am including the following statement because I've seen people spreading baseless claims that have the potential to cause harm, and which have been the complete opposite of my experience and observations:
I worked/volunteered with Microbioma for ~2 years [1][2]. My personal experience with them was that they are not scientific or knowledgeable. They had the platform, and I had the knowledge & expertise. I helped set up the English version of the website, and ran the North America portion independently. I put my own money, and hundreds of hours, into finding & screening donors. I had the option to use their donor for free, due to the 2 years of volunteer work I did for them, but declined to do so due to the above issues. Just because someone is willing to provide advice doesn't mean that advice is sound.
2021-07-20 update: Microbioma.org WARNING. "Ivan Watson" alias of the person running it, has resorted to blatant lies in order to sell his product. - Archived. Direct link to album. Album link at another host.
He then tried to scrub the internet of all evidence exposing him. He got the Reddit post removed for "posting personal information", and got the imgur links taken down (false copyright claim) https://archive.ph/FeTKU.
2021-08-03: He hired a lawyer to threaten me to take down all the information. Obviously I will not. Unfortunately, his legal threats have been successful in getting some Facebook FMT groups to censor themselves in his favor.
2021-12-14: More people keep using Microbioma.org and getting eczema. Absolutely mind-boggling.
2022-01-19: And again. Plus, more retaliation.
More info at Microbioma.org full history and review. Including someone who previously posted false attacks admitting that Microbioma is paying & incentivizing people to do it.
A number of questionable accounts had previously submitted a handful of positive experience reports to /r/FMTClinics, which various users questioned the veracity of. I left them all up (they're still up, and I've never removed a review from that sub yet) for people to decide and discuss for themselves. But after some of the users joined in the dishonest & malicious pro-Microbioma behavior, they were banned from the sub.
The people behind this have now proven themselves to be straight up scammers, going to incredibly unethical lengths to sell their product to ignorant people. By far, they have the most reports of people getting worse. By far, they have overtaken the previous #1 in regards to astroturfing, making & using fake accounts, hiring people to do so, etc. Yet everything they're doing seems to be entirely effective. So much so that they've been able to further increase their prices due to high demand. Anyone still associating themselves with this outfit has lost all credibility.
They've now branched out all over Reddit and Facebook with dozens of accounts astroturfing, and harassing & spreading disinformation against people who exposed them. It is not difficult to determine "who is right", simply look at the evidence. This group now controls and astroturfs a large portion of Facebook & Reddit groups. "Sue Pa" seems to be a ringleader and has been acting like Ivan's alt account ever since he was exposed to be a serial liar. Her behavior has been completely irrational ever since she popped up on the scene, and she's had a dozen accounts banned across Reddit. Sue and other members of the group have been mimicking me, plagiarizing me, and leeching off of me for years. They seem to have the mindset of "All you need to do to succeed in life is find someone who seems competent and mimic them".
Gezonde Darmflora:
Located in the Netherlands, but they ship internationally.
Founded by Marco Kleijn, who says he fixed his Crohn’s disease with FMT.
- $525 for 24 capsules. Around $22 per capsule.
- $525 for one 55 ml enema.
They usually have a handful of local donors to choose from, between the ages of 10-40. Only a basic description of the donor is available, along with blood & stool test results.
They rely on a questionnaire + blood & stool testing to screen donors. They frequently retest donors and seem to over-rely on testing. The FMT page has more info on testing limitations and donor screening.
Results are not systematically tracked & reported. They have a Reviews page, but it doesn't appear to be possible for customers/recipients/patients to submit reviews themselves. It appears that only the owner of the website can add a new review.
Human Microbes:
I started up HumanMicrobes.org in late 2020 due to the significant deficiencies covered in this wiki section. We ship worldwide and have possible donors in many countries.
Here's a 10 minute video covering some of my history, goals, motivations, etc.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wi52tLjCps. You can find more details on the forum.
Other than clinical trials, Human Microbes is the only source that is publicly and systematically tracking and reporting results (see spreadsheet on Orders page). We've screened the most donors of anyone in the world (by orders of magnitude). We have the highest donor standards that exist anywhere. We started out with the lowest costs (by far) that existed anywhere, but we're still near the lowest, and arguably the lowest since we accept means testing. I would argue that we're run by one of the most knowledgeable people in the world on the gut microbiome, FMT, and human health & development; who also has genuine, desperate interest in improving people's health because I see current society as a dystopia that can only be improved by improving people's health & function.
I'm looking for some very specific criteria that I think represent an eubiotic, unperturbed, curative gut microbiome, and thus would be highly effective for many conditions other than C. diff.
Out of the first ~25,000 applicants, there were only two that I deemed promising enough to try. They've been used by a few hundred people. I didn't benefit from the first one, but did from the second. Others have benefited from both, or more from one and less from the other.
Our prices started out dirt-cheap, but after screening 25,000+ donor applicants, and still not finding anyone who met the ideal criteria, people urged me to raise prices to attract higher-quality donors. The price increase was effective, and as of May 2023, we've had over half a million donor applicants, including hundreds of college and professional athletes. As of Jan 2024 we've received over a million stool donor applicants.
We have donors of all ages -- I think it's more ideal to match young recipients with young donors.
I am determined to find a good enough donor to cure myself, but due to the lack of support from the community (or anyone for that matter), the most effective donors will likely be out of reach for most people.
