It would be a lot better if they could just give all patients on antibiotics in the hospital a capsule with the good bacteria, like the Lactobacillus capsules available OTC, and have a good chance of preventing many C diff infections.

Another thought: I’m guessing that particular collections of intestinal flora have something to do with the ease of weight loss or gain. A microbial array tailored for weight loss would be very profitable (healthy sustained weight loss, not Montezuma’s Revenge.)

Is Lactobacillus the one he is trying to replace here?

I know i have some I bought from my chiropractor and had to keep it refrigerated and everything.

IS this also the type that is in the ‘enhanced’ yogurt?
