Title is a bit misleading. It’s not a fecal transplant. It’s tablets and powder (for the pitt-hopkins cases) of microbes from fecal donors. Consumes orally.

More like fecal food?



What did you think a fecal transplant was?


I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I always assumed a fecal transplant went in the other door

EDIT: looks like I was right, it can be done that way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal_microbiota_transplant#Me...


No embarrassment, I thought the same. Feels like a far more sensible thought than fecal transplant via the mouth, for many reasons. Vindicating edit!


Suppository.


It many times is just someone else’s poop put into your butt


I mean the word transplant implies that it does not go in the mouth. Unless the patient uh... does things a little differently.
