[03] CHAMIN FMT CARE
Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) Program
Explore the complete CHAMIN FMT CARE journey, from rigorous donor screening and personalized transplantation to care before and after the procedure.
SPECIALIST CARE
The CHAMIN FMT program is personally evaluated and performed by a gastroenterology specialist.
PART 1
Premium Microbiome Screening
The safety and clinical results of FMT begin with who the microorganism came from and how rigorously it was verified.
Charmin FMT CARE uses only donor microbial preparations that have passed multidimensional verification by a professional fecal microbe bank. To ensure patient safety and a stable treatment process, medical history, infectious agents, stool genetic testing, and lifestyle habits are checked step by step.
Primary filtering that checks from genetics to environment
STEP 01 Multi-dimensional in-depth precision medical examination
Primary filtering that checks from genetics to environment
- Thorough history tracking We carefully check the donor's past medical history, family history, and medication history, as well as recent antibiotic use, overseas travel history, and possibility of exposure to infections.
- Multifaceted Life Assessment We comprehensively evaluate not only minor digestive symptoms, metabolic diseases, and immune diseases, but also mental health and daily lifestyle habits.
- strict exclusion principle If risk factors that may compromise safety are identified, they are excluded from donation and the standards for products delivered to patients are raised.
Blocking the source of blood-borne infectious agents
STEP 02 High-precision blood screening
Blocking the source of blood-borne infectious agents
- Block essential infectious agents We closely check for major infectious diseases that can be transmitted through blood, such as HIV, hepatitis B and C, and syphilis.
- Reflection of safety issues Test items can be updated according to hospital protocols and domestic and international safety issues, and reflect the latest standards when necessary.
- cross check system Rather than relying solely on blood tests, we verify complex safety by applying stool tests and in-depth interview results together.
Precise tracking of multi-drug resistant bacteria and harmful bacteria
STEP 03 Ultra-precise stool genetic PCR test
Precise tracking of multi-drug resistant bacteria and harmful bacteria
- Extensive harmful bacteria testing Risk factors such as enteritis-causing bacteria, parasites, viral intestinal diseases, pathogenic E. coli, and multidrug-resistant bacteria are identified at the genetic testing level.
- Enhanced protective measures Additional protective measures and detailed verification standards are applied to the risks of pathogenic E. coli transmission, such as MDRO, EPEC, and STEC, as warned by the FDA.
- Lot-specific tracking management If necessary, repeat testing before and after collection and lot storage management for each product increase traceability.
Donor evaluation reflecting the gut-brain axis perspective
STEP 04 Premium Mental & Lifestyle Verification
Donor evaluation reflecting the gut-brain axis perspective
- Verification of healthy lifestyle patterns Since intestinal microorganisms are influenced by eating habits, sleep patterns, alcohol consumption, stress, and exercise habits, we carefully check your lifestyle patterns.
- Clean life standards Donors who maintain a clean diet and a regular, stable lifestyle are given priority.
- Mental health support standards From the gut-brain axis perspective, the donor's psychological stability and lifestyle habits are also checked as auxiliary criteria.
Note Since FMT is a treatment that addresses intestinal microorganisms, safety verification is of utmost importance. Our hospital lowers the risk of infection based on donor screening and pathogenic microorganism testing, and uses only appropriate agents based on the judgment of medical staff.

Customized FMT transplant program
We precisely design the transplant route and packaging strategy according to the patient's symptoms, intestinal environment, and preferences.
Charmin FMT CARE is not a single procedure, but proposes a customized program that combines gastroscopy, colonoscopy routes, 1-time, 3-time, and maintenance options to suit each patient's situation.
Select a path to precisely deliver to the target area
Endoscopic Guided Implantation Lineup
Select a path to precisely deliver to the target area
- Precision path design The medical staff reviews the gastroscopy or colonoscopy route by considering the patient's symptoms, endoscopic findings, underlying diseases, and intestinal environment.
- direct delivery method Unlike the general enema method, endoscopic guide implantation is a method in which medical staff delivers the agent to the target area while checking the condition of the mucous membrane.
- Custom package connection We not only decide on the transplant route, but also consider one-time, three-time, and maintenance options to create a realistic plan.
ROUTE
Endoscopic Delivery Routes
upper gastrointestinal tract
Gastroscopy Guide FMT
- Treatment features This is a method of directly delivering the agent by accessing the duodenum and upper small intestine area through a sleeping gastroscopy.
- to be considered If you have upper gastrointestinal discomfort, indigestion, suspected SIBO, or need to manage metabolic balance, you may be reviewed after your appointment.
- Advantages Compared to colonoscopy, the burden of taking bowel preparation is relatively small, so the preparation process can be relatively simple.
lower gastrointestinal tract
Colonoscopy Guide FMT
- Treatment features This is a method of delivering the agent to the lower intestinal tract by approaching the cecum and terminal ileum through sleeping colonoscopy.
- to be considered If you have chronic diarrhea and constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, or recurrent C. difficile infection, it may be reviewed after treatment.
- Advantages It is possible to target a wider area of the lower intestinal tract while simultaneously checking the condition of the colonic mucosa.
PACKAGE
Personalized Program Options
One-time package
- Program content It consists of detailed consultation, one endoscopic guide implantation, and initial management guidance for 48 hours after the procedure.
- expected direction It is designed as the first step to confirm FMT suitability and initial response, and to examine changes in the intestinal environment.
3-session package
- Program content We perform 3 consecutive endoscopically guided transplantations, check responses for each session, and provide guidance on daily life management.
- expected direction It is a standard intensive process that, through repeated administration, increases the chances of the newly introduced microbial ecosystem adapting to the intestinal environment.
maintenance options
- Program content After the basic package, regular refresh transplants and intestinal environment follow-up consultations are reviewed depending on the patient's condition.
- expected direction This is an option for long-term management of the intestinal environment that can be disturbed by taking antibiotics, stress, and changes in eating habits.
Note Changes in intestinal microorganisms and the speed of recovery may vary depending on the individual's underlying environment. This program goes beyond relieving one-time symptoms and also considers strategies centered on repeated administration to ensure that the intestinal ecosystem is stably established.
PART 3
Charmin All Care Protocol
The stable progress of the FMT procedure is completed not only through precise transplantation but also through systematic management before and after the procedure.
Charmin FMT CARE guides step-by-step care protocols so that patients can follow them with peace of mind, from pre-procedure preparation to recovery, 48-hour initial management, and emergency contact criteria.
Customized pre-design for stable settlement
STEP 01 Preparation before treatment
Customized pre-design for stable settlement
- Precision drug screening We check the anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, diabetes medications, and immunosuppressants you are taking, as well as your recent history of taking antibiotics, and reflect them in your procedure preparation plan.
- One-stop dictionary guide We provide detailed information on fasting time, bowel cleansing method, and whether or not a guardian will be accompanied according to the patient's condition, according to the procedure route.
- Pre-condition check If you have a fever, acute enteritis, severe abdominal pain, or there is a possibility of pregnancy, the medical staff will reevaluate your condition and determine when it is safe to do so.
One-stop care for comfortable progress
STEP 02 On the day of the procedure
One-stop care for comfortable progress
- Sleep endoscopy-based progression When performing a sleep endoscopy, under the monitoring of a skilled medical staff, we help you avoid feeling much pain or discomfort during the procedure.
- Recovery room stabilization management Immediately after the procedure, you will be allowed to rest sufficiently in the recovery room before returning home. You will be instructed to avoid driving on the same day.
- Temporary adaptive response guidance Abdominal bloating, gas emissions, and loose stools may appear temporarily during the process of adapting to a new intestinal environment.
Golden time management for initial microorganism settlement
STEP 03 48 hours after treatment
Golden time management for initial microorganism settlement
- Ecosystem Protection Diet Guide To ensure that the transplanted microorganisms can adapt stably, it is recommended to avoid excessive drinking, overeating, raw food, spicy or oily foods and a diet that helps the intestines to relax.
- Smart adaptive monitoring As your body adapts to the new intestinal environment, you may experience mild gas or changes in your bowel movements, but most of them are mild.
- Close, safe care If uncomfortable symptoms persist or interfere with daily life, contact the hospital and receive medical guidance.
Safety standards that check for unexpected changes
STEP 04 Emergency communication and safety net
Safety standards that check for unexpected changes
- Immediate response criteria If you experience high fever, chills, severe abdominal pain, bloody stool, persistent vomiting, dehydration, severe diarrhea, or difficulty breathing, you should contact the hospital immediately.
- Concentrate on high-risk groups It is safe for those with weakened immune systems or severe underlying conditions to report even small physical changes quickly.
- Sharing linked treatment history If there is a situation that requires antibiotic prescription after the procedure, you should inform the medical staff of your FMT procedure history and consider an intestinal microorganism management plan together.
Note For safety reasons, on the day of endoscopy, we recommend that you avoid driving, drinking, or making important legal or business decisions and get plenty of rest.
