I believe the best procedure is actually sticking it in your nose.

(They run a tube through your nose, down your throat, through the stomach to the top of the intestines, and introduce the bacterial slurry there.)

That's a fairly invasive way of doing it. It can be given through pills now. https://www.lhscri.ca/news/innovative-poop-pills-show-promis...

Makes you wonder how hard would it be to just put it in a swallowable capsule that dissolves only in the upper intestine.

Also, "fecal transplant" is marketable only to weirdos. "Probiotic infusion" would work better.

Pretty sure there’s a shorter path to the top of the intestines than through the nose but I’m no Biologist.
