Do they care about the consistency, color, smell, etc? Or is it just pretty much anything goes? Do they request that you eat a specific diet?
The containers are just plastic containers (like a margarine container)m, single use. You place it in a trapezoid shape holder. Then place it on the toilet. If you place it one direction it collects stool, if you place it the other direction it collects urine. So yes, we do keep them separate.
If I have a bout of diarrhea, I stop donating and wait for it to clear. I then collect samples and send to the lab for testing (ova and parasite, regular fecal culture, norovirus, hepatitis and some other viral testing). If I'm clear, I can continue to donate. This same process happens if I go on antibiotics or if I travel out of country. So anything goes, minus liquid stool.
As for diet, I'm actually encouraged not to change my diet. My flora has shown to work well for recipients, and therefore if I change my diet I might change my flora.
What sort of requirements are they talking here? General health, physical fitness, proper diet, all of the above, or something else?
Diet wasn't so much of a concern. I once switched to gluten free on request from the recipients family, however, as both myself and the physician said, gluten is probably broken down before it comes out the other end.
> Since they have to come into the Medford, Mass. office, lots of them are Tufts University students. And plenty are recruited from the gym next door. "It's great to have a healthy contingent of regular gym goers right there," Smith said.
PoopDate.io has potential. DISRUPT that bathroom!
The turnout was great and the park was cleared of dog crap, but unfortunately no great fortunes were made :)
On a related note, how can the bacteria survive in "pro-biotic" pills that you can buy? I'm suspicious.
On the other hand, I bet they're working on it.
As per your question regarding pro-biotics, some bacteria such as Lactobacilli can be dried and remain viable when reintroduced to a liquid medium.
For example, the recent antibiotic discovery that made the news came from learning how to culture soil bacteria. No, we didn't learn what it needs. We just grew it in it's natural environment: dirt.

Revolutionary. (seriously).
"Win competitions like biggest single donation of the month, or most donations in a month for bonuses and prizes!"
One would imagine that testing would need to be fairly regular (no pun intended), so I'm not sure what the $5000 figure is meant to represent.
It's a brave new world where vulgar and scientific words are replaced with baby talk.
Language is what we use to think so it is very important to what and how we think.

And focus on the logic, not the implied naughtiness of my fictional example that's got your panties in a bunch.
You want to practice restraint? Then don't say anything instead of swearing. It's as simple as that.
Edit: and to clarify,
"It's not a very intelligent thing to change the form of the curse words but not their content." - I never said it was intelligent, I said it made me realize how juvenile people sound when they curse non stop.
"And focus on the logic, not the implied naughtiness of my fictional example" - You are missing the point here, which I stated plainly in my first post: One could argue that speaking like a child is to have no restraint over what comes out of your mouth, not the other way around.
"You want to practice restraint? Then don't say anything instead of swearing. It's as simple as that." - Oversimplifying, a sign of immaturity, i'm concerned about you...
