Hi, I’m wondering if anyone has tried this or knows anything about this? I’m wondering if in theory the probiotics or prebiotics would clean out any bad microbes/ make the good microbes stronger?
FMT stool cut with prebiotics/probiotics? Boost FMT by taking it with prebiotics? Enhancing

Enhancing the outcomes of FMT

I have tried to take various prebiotics with FMT in an attempt to boost it and it did not work. Prebiotics that were harmful to me beforehand were also harmful when taken with the FMT. It appears that you need a good enough donor who is able to transfer the microbes required to process the prebiotics properly.
Donor quality seems to outweigh all other factors by a tremendous amount. No procedure detail that I've experimented with has made a large difference.

Have you ever tried sunlight? I’ve read that has an impact on the gut microbiome but I’m not sure if it would also maybe kill some of the good bacteria in the stool?

If you mean exposing the stool to sunlight, as far as I know, air and light will kill off useful microbes.
