I wonder if it could be simply inserted into the other end instead of being swallowed. Perhaps a suppository would do?

Says in the writeup that the transplant is done "through colonoscopy" so it is "inserted in the other end", right?

I have heard of fecal transplants being effective administered orally via capsule. Though that might be a bitter pill to swallow, I might prefer it to the other route...

Sorry, I skimmed through and didn’t get the colonoscopy part. I guess the bitter pill to swallow is no longer part of the practice though easier than a colonoscopy it was just grossing me out.
