In order to start the process of a stool transplant, a healthy donor is needed. Friends and family members are common donors, but any healthy person’s stool may be used. All donors must go through testing to be sure that further infection is not spread to the person receiving the transplant.  Potential donors should not:
Have taken antibiotics for three months prior to the transplant.
Have a history of inflammatory bowel disease, diarrhea, colon cancer, or other chronic gastrointestinal diseases.
Have any chronic medical problems.
Have a history of drug use.
