137 For C. difficile there seems to be a very wide ther‐ apeutic window. Any donor will do. Any route will do. You can give it rectally, you can give it via this nasogastric tube, but either way it seems to work. Just one donation is usually enough, although with C. difficile you may need to give another af‐ ter a week or so if nothing is working. It seems to be remarkably and easily effective. This is why even in an evidence ‐based world we do not need masses of randomized trials here because the ef‐ fect is so marked.
