"But the FDA warns that fecal transplants be used only on patients with C. diff who have not responded to any other therapy, and only after doctors make sure the patient understands the approach is "investigational" and has "potential risks."

Looks like the only thing it can be used for is C. diff. Too bad they are not saying that it can be used as a first line approach instead of a treatment of last resort. I would think a fecal transplant would not be as dangerous as the strong antibiotics used for C. diff.
