There are plenty of people out there doing DIY transplants, believe it or not. Personally I think eating a varied and balanced diet is more useful for your gut microbiome's long-term health but I can't deny that the research into this field seems promising for some health conditions.

- tracker1 7y agoWhile I agree... if someone has had some very strong antibiotics, getting back to anything resembling healthy doesn't work for a lot of people. A lot of what you bring in gets killed before it reaches your gut and even then there's evidence that quite a bit is passed on from the mother even.
