This is a really cool idea that showed a lot of promise in early trials. But yes, it should probably be FDA regulated.
The idea is to transport bacteria from people with healthy GI bacteria populations to people that have GI bacteria problems. The original implementation I remember was really simple: donor poop was dried out in a centrifuge and then packed straight into capsules that were swallowed by the donatee.
As disgusting as it sounds, I’d try it.
