Medical science now officially says says doctors and insurance companies can freely consider poop transplants to help people with C. diff. Before today, doctors who considered this were heretical and should have been virtually stoned.
Back to leeches and maggots, it seems.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
No thanks. I’d take my chances with the recurring infections.
Effect of fecal microbiota transplantation in children with autism spectrum disorder: A systematic review
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36937721/
Apparently fecal transplant has some effectiveness in autism too.
Wonder if what we are eating or drinking these days is part of the problem?
...or go work on a farm for a week while not washing your hands.
I’ve had many c-diff infections after IV antibiotics in hospital due to diverticulitis. Painful. Horrible. You try to get close relatives to donate. I will try it if I can find a donor. That seems unlikely. Vancomycin is the best choice now.
Im a donor, I get 175 bucks per donation
Transplant?
Sounds better than eating poop!
You’re sh!tting me, right? /s
I transplant mine into the terlet.
Rebyota is the name of the fda approved formulation of suspended fecal matter from qualified donors(approved 11/22). The fecal material is screened for transmissible disease( yeah, like what?), but donors have no dietary restrictions. It is not screened for allergens either..(peanuts,gluten anyone?). Hope the donor isn’t a super hot sauce freak).
It is given rectally, NOT orally.
Probably pronounced (re-biota)...replenishing micro biota?)
It is indicated only for people who have not improved with antibiotics for C. Difficult infection.
Why can’t the geniuses at the drug companies isolate the effective fecal organisms from the stool sample, culture the orgs, and test those? S********e-it!
It has been successful for many, but(no pun intended) not all.
These sh*t shakes used to be given by nasograstic tube when first tried. Yuck!
There are gonna be lots of jokes about this...kinda’ like a “Uranus” headline response on steroids. Let me try one really bad one.
Bill: Hey Joe, why the glum look? How was your first day as the professional stool donater at the company?
Joe: I didn’t earn anything. My boss said I didn’t do sh*t.
Ka-thunk....
My dad had C-Diff. I did research back then in 2010. Doctor turned Holistic said Vitamin C was a MUST to treat C-Diff and stopping it from coming back because many times it reoccurs. My dad recovered! With Vit C
Literally, anything that can stop C. diff is worth doing. Anything. My mother had it several times while we attempted to care for her in our house. Not fun...not fun at all. Poor lady.
I got some kefir seeds and added it to some grass fed unpasteurized milk.
A day later I had some natural kefir. (not the junk in stores)
The real kefir is incredibly dense in vitamins minerals beneficial bacteria and fats.
Its also indescribably delicious.
Look, as it is, I’m having to swallow $#!+ from Fox News, the DNCMedia, Biden, the demonrats and the Global Tyrannic Woke...
They can transfer through surgery, but I’m not going to swallow it or take it up the assets!
So the old adage (and insult) "Eat Sh*t and Die", is just the opposite.
Fecal transplant has been the treatment of choice for recalcitrant c diff for quite a few years now. It is well known to be the most eggs give treatment though antibiotics usually suffice for mild cases
