That probably played a role in the FDA's action.

These #FMT trials are a massive waste of time & money, and harmful to patients because they put no effort into finding high-quality donors. More info: forum.humanmicrobiome.info/threads/the-...

There is absolutely downside. I'd never get FMT from an official source due to their poor quality donors. And finding a high-quality donor on your own is extremely hard. forum.humanmicrobiome.info/threads/cont...

Even though it mentions the FDA, it's a worldwide project and is relevant in nearly every country. The UK may be one rare exception. But it still matters to people in the UK since top donors in other countries will be unable to export their stool.

Yes, many FMT studies show no benefit, or even harm to patients. There are major donor-quality issues with most FMT studies: forum.humanmicrobiome.info/threads/the-... That doesn't make the premise false. There's a huge body of evidence (linked previously) in support.

My thoughts weren't that it would occupy a niche, but rather consume the mucosa, which could then be rebuilt with healthier microbes. "Completely degrades mucin glycans" was what interested me. Here's a forum thread on it: forum.humanmicrobiome.info/threads/muco...

Michael Harrop @michaelharrop.bsky.social · 18/04/2025
Do you think this could be used to clear the gut mucosa prior to FMT to enhance the effect of FMT? My initial thought is that it wouldn't work fast enough, but perhaps the patient could take this probiotic mix daily for some weeks prior to FMT. Maybe along with a special diet.
