Interesting, I have a 9 month old nephew who might be a good donor. I've thought about this in the past (and a million other treatments....)

You don't need a nasogastric tube to do a DIY HPI. What is really important is the quality of the donor feces. You should take a PPI at least 48 hours before to the procedure. A blender, a filter, and purified water is the only thing you need. You can add chocolate powder to the blend to satisfy your taste. That is it. Enjoy.

The Dangers
The human GI tract is not just full of bacteria, but it can also be populated with viruses, fungi, protozoa and parasites. Fecal transplants can transmit HIV, prion disease, e. coli 0157:H7, worms, shigella and other dysentery-causing infectious agents. Current laboratory testing is unable to detect all possible pathogens, especially prions. It is therefore impossible to declare a stool sample “safe” with our current technology.

The Scientific Literature
To my knowledge, there have been no controlled trials to evaluate the outcomes of fecal transplants. There are several observational studies suggesting that patients with c. diff colitis and certain inflammatory bowel conditions improve after the introduction of donor feces. Of course, observational studies do not establish that the treatment is more efficacious than a tincture of time.

A summary of the literature (with references) may be found here. Ironically, the website that features these references claims that fecal transplants may be helpful in the treatment of everything from heartburn, to immune deficiencies, to autism. Apparently, they didn’t analyze the literature they cite.

Conclusion
There is currently insufficient evidence to recommend Fecal Transplantation for any patient. There are clear risks, and no proven benefits.

Common sense would suggest that if you have a lower instestinal problem you use an enema and if you have an upper intestinal problem you take it orally. However Thomas Borody's CDD (Centre for Digestive Diseases) in Sydney now use the enema method for all cases as they say the bacteria will find their way up to the small intestine. .

I had two transplants at the CDD with very promising results but they have ultimately failed. Greatly encouraged, I am now 90% sure that if I can get enough of it into me for long enough, I will get on top of this bug. I'm getting a donor tested so that I can have the infusions locally on my body's timetable and get a top up quickly if I need it. I have concluded that its taken me a long time to get into this mess so will probably take a long time to get out of it.

Notwithstanding my result, I recommend the treatment and I don't think it should be the 'last resort' its touted to be. It's definitely worth a try. And yes, the quality of the donor is everything. It is amazing how many people are unsuitable. FYI the CDD told me not to use a donor under 16.
