I’m surprised FMT aren’t a bigger thing.

Think they would be able to make some sort of artificial FMT. Probiotics aren’t enough.

I know personally I have taken a boat load of antibiotics as a child and I took some for Cellulitis which because it was a skin infection required a high daily dose, never been the same since.

We’re a long way (many decades) off from that. This blog goes into more detail with references: https://www.humanmicrobes.org/blog/stool-donors-one-in-a-million-ai-funding-potential

One of which is this page that shows the severe limits of current knowledge: https://humanmicrobiome.info/testing/
