Yeah but fecal transplant bacteria isn't comprised of the sort of transient bacteria generally found in probiotic sources. It leads to a kind of hard-reset for gut flora. There are few sources that offer bacteria that will persist in the gut, I think I read kefir is one of them, but to what extent I'm not certain.

Many, perhaps most, traditional diets from around the world featured some live-culture fermented dish as a staple. Likely our bodies evolved to expect large daily exposure to certain healthy bacteria, and societies that ate live cultures with those bacteria would have better health.
