How do they sell this to the patients? "Eat shit and don't die"?

I've heard of it before, I'd gladly do it to rid myself of a C. diff infection. C. diff is just horrible. It's not like you taste anything.

Why can't they just put it in your butt, instead of your stomach. I guess maybe a colonoscopy is more difficult/invasive than a tube down the nose? I guess I'd probably get it rather than die. I wonder if this procedure gives you "the hitler"?

I've heard of it performed via enema as well. Regardless of entrance, they just want to load up the gut with a bunch of normal bacteria to crowd out nasty nasty C. diff!

It's not like you eat it. They put a tube up your ass and pump it in. And it's not like you own shit is clean to begin with. I'll just use 2 instead of 1 bottles of Lysol after wiping.

This is kind of old news...

In many cases the C. diff infection can simply be avoided by eating yogurt, careful use of antibiotics, etc. Some cases are still going to come up though, and this procedure is fast, cheap and safe. I think most people really suffering from the infection are in little position to object, it's genuinely life-threatening.

It appears that there are 2 methods:

Take it up

According to wikipedia, you can combine 'up the ass' and 'through the nose' for better effectiveness. Personally, I will bend over and pray rather than have it down my nose.

I had it for about a year and it is soooooooo much fun! Lost about 40 lbs, too. I went on the Vacomycin pulse dosing and that did the trick. The doctor said that fecal replacement therapy would be the next step if the 10 pills for 800.00 did not work. Thank God it did. I also started to take Lactobacillus/acidophillus pills, and I still do.

Man, having to get up all hours of the night in a panic really sucks. Always have the feeling of having to go to the toilet, 24/7 especially when you drive a truck for a living like I do. At least I am all better now, where some people never get rid of it.


Peace
