Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT)

I read about fecal transplants a few months ago. Then within a few days of reading about it I watched a documentary on it. How fascinating! That said, I recall mentioning it to a few people who thought that I was kidding or crazy. I must admit it seemed so odd that someone would even think to do this. Does anyone else agree with me about this procedure? Please pardon this next pun but I’m not poo pooing it in any way. I’m just saying who was sitting around one day thinking: “ hmmm maybe I can transplant some fecal matter from a health person into a sick person and the health poo will take over the whole colon and or other parts of the excrement system and it will work and make things healthy again? In a way I think it’s genius. But honestly, can’t you see how many people may thinks your crazy?
I wonder how many other cures may exist in this type of thinking outside the box?
I’m so happy for all of you who have dared to go there and I too am looking forward to reading more about the successes!

@stuckonu I think we have all questioned the science behind the FMT but it’s genius when you consider the microbiome of the gut. Crazy. It’s gross to think about but I just had to get passed that.
