I read about this in a practice passage for my test. It's a very interesting concept and definitely brings nuance into the transplant procedure. Risks vs benefits - survive C. diff but possibly become obese.
I can't even escape my test in the comfort of Twitter 
Hey @galev_ph I read an article about feces and thought of you. https://www.idsociety.org/FMT_Weight_Gain/ …

There have been some follow-ups I believe with swapping transplants between obese and thin people. The two populations change weight toward the other side based on gut bacteria.

Thanks. This was really interesting. I have my reservations tho. They say despite exercise and diet she still gained weight. Maybe her daughter has magical bacteria that create matter out of thin air....

From what I’ve read it seems that people at different weights have different bacteria? It’s still a confused science. But swapping them seems to alter weight, which is weird. You’d think we’d have generally the same critters.
