How important is upper FMT timing with meals? Procedure

[PittsburghGutGuy]

I saw somewhere in the wiki about waiting around 2hrs after a meal. How important is this? What are the down sides to doing it right after a meal?

I've done several doses now, but I haven't been strict with timing. I've tried to wait 2hrs after eating, but just now I took a dose around 20mins after. I've been secretive about what I'm doing with the SO.

Try it and let us know. There's evidence for probiotics that they should be taken before or with a meal. It has to do with acid and ph levels. https://humanmicrobiome.info/probiotics/

I think I accidentally did something right. I have GERD and take at least 1 famotidine a day. If I'm doing keto like I am now, I only need one in the morning. If I'm eating carbs I need at least 1 before bed and maybe another mid day with tums as needed.

I've been taking my fmt and then taking tums and/or famotidine shortly in an attempt to not kill the bacteria.

I worry I might have another irregularity that could hurt upper fmt. I once swalled a pill camera as a test my GI was doing. It got stuck in my stomach for the entire duration of the battery. I had to redo the procedure with an upper scope and they placed it just past my stomach.
