I'm allergic to all cillins and had a spate of issues that required antibiotics 15 years ago, 3 treatments in 17 months.
I'll have to take probiotics the rest of my life. Because I'm not doing a fecal transplant, thanks. Those three times of antibiotics completely wrecked my intestines.

- BizarroLand 1y agoMy guess is they decided it was "gross" and so they'd rather suffer. This way they get the benefit of complaining about their suffering without criticism because it's a social faux pas to tell a person to undergo a medical procedure just as much as it's frowned upon to mock someone for suffering from a medical illness, even though the fix for their medical condition is getting an enema and sticking a couple of pills up their hee-hoo.
- genewitch 1y agoit's put in a tube down your throat, at least it was back when i was looking at options. Also, generally, you need a fecal transplant from someone in your household, but none of us have the same diets so i don't see how that would work.
- BizarroLand 1y agoPretty sure they offer it in suppository or even a pill format now. You just may have to jump through some hoops to find someone who works with them. https://openbiome.org/feature/fecal-transplant-pills-large-scale-production-begins-following-successful-dosing-study/ https://openbiome.org/feature/fecal-transplant-pills-large-s...
