I am sure many people find this unconventional approach a bit gross. But, having had C-diff, it's bad enough once, the thought of relapse is enough to make one willing to try pretty much anything to put an end to the suffering. I don't think, even with all of the pain of my typical health problems, and the myriad problems I deal with that, there is much I've lived with that is worse than C-diff. So if this prevents a relapse...well whatever works. At least the person with C-diff can pick their own donor! It's a bit easier knowing the donor and their habits of what they ingest and digest.

Although I can imagine that would be a VERY awkward conversation. It's not expected to ever ask someone "Hey, will you go through this rigorous testing and donate your feces to me?",  nor does the one being asked that ever expect to be asked such a question.  Nor would a person with C-diff who hadn't heard of this potential treatment ever expect a person they know who is aware of it to offer "Hey I know you have C-diff & I've heard of this unconventional treatment. Would you like me to donate my feces for you?". I can very well imagine the surprise of ALL involved. But, after the surprise, if it is a chance to avoid further problems with C-diff, then I can easily imagine going that direction, off-putting as it sounds. I was so very miserable during that time that I'd have probably agreed to anything at that time. And if I were having a recurrence of C-Diff, would likely be open to anything that works.
