Patient Information

What to Expect at Your First Visit

During your first visit, we will determine if you are a candidate for FMT. If you qualify, the procedure will generally be scheduled 1-2 weeks later. You will be seen by doctors from one or more subspecialties, and your case will be reviewed by a multidisciplinary team.

Please do not bring a stool sample to your initial clinic visit.

Complicated C. difficile Clinic

Friday - 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

The Complicated C. difficile Clinic treats patients with recurrent Clostridium difficile (C.diff) infections. Your healthcare provider will refer you to our clinic. When antibiotics fail to work, we use fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), an effective treatment that cures the infection in about 90% of patients. We use pre-screened stool from OpenBiome, a non-profit stool bank.

FMT Recipients

To be considered for potential FMT, you must have either of the following:

  • Two documented episodes of mild to moderate C. diff that have not responded to at least 6-8 weeks of treatment with appropriate antibiotics
  • One documented episode of severe C. diff infection that permits hospital admission

Referral only: Contact your healthcare provider
