They're pretty common. How have you tried to find them? Have you looked in local dietary supplement stores?

Thanks for your answer, my question is where I can buy empty enteric-coated capsules for FMT, capsules that are acid-resistant to the point that they dissolve first in the colon, can't buy it in Sweden and can't find webshops in the USA either
I assume you've looked on Amazon and similar shopping sites? When I was ordering them I found a supplier with not too much trouble, though they're in the US and therefore shipping to Sweden is probably quite expensive from them. I imagine if you search from an account or IP address based in Sweden you'd get results in Scandinavia if there are companies there selling them.
I am not familiar with how the supplement market works in Sweden with regards to how popular they are and whether there are retail chains that specialize in selling them (and possibly health foods) or if this is generally part of the pharmacy business. I know even less whether they commonly carry enteric coated capsules. Here many of the supplement stores with a more "purist vibe" seem not to carry them because they basically can't be made without artificial ingredients.

Yes, we are literate here, so we were able to read your question the first time you asked. We responded to it, and instead of responding to my response, you restated your question. So are you unable to read our responses, or are you a bot?

Hi, I'm not a bot, I'm terribly sorry for being unclear, I'll speak plainly, I want to help my mother perform an FMT at home without the medical care, I'm the fecal donor, we've done some research and read that we need enteric coated capsules, We've bought HMPC capsules, but the ones we bought don't turn out to be stomach acid resistant, they dissolve quite quickly when we do tests. We've done a lot of trail and error, and need concrete tips on where we can buy, • enteric coated HPMC capsules, or
special polymers on top of HPMC.
So grateful for the help so far.

Yet you did the exact same thing again.
Do it again and you're getting banned.
