Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT)

Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) in North Houston, Humble & The Woodlands

Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) is an advanced treatment used to restore healthy gut bacteria, particularly in patients with recurrent Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) infections. At DLDC, our team performs FMT to reestablish gut balance and improve digestive health.

The procedure involves transplanting processed stool from a healthy donor into the patient’s colon, typically via colonoscopy or enema. FMT has a high success rate in eliminating C. diff infections that haven’t responded to antibiotics.

DLDC provides FMT services across Houston, The Woodlands, Humble, and Baytown through gimed.net. If you're struggling with chronic C. diff or other microbiome-related issues, talk to our team about whether FMT is right for you.
