Participant milestones

Participant milestones
Measure
Intervention: Fecal Microbiota Preparation
Open label single arm Dosage form: Screened human donor stool, sourced from human-derived microbes generated by healthy, screened donors. Route of administration: either colonoscopic/sigmoidoscopic FMT or retention enema FMT Dosing Regimen: 250 mL x 1 dose. In the event of a clinical non-response, a repeat single 250 mL dose will occur from a different donor Fecal Microbiota Preparation: Frozen processed human fecal material for treating recurrent Clostridium difficile infections.
