The intriguing, yet somewhat malodorous, topic of poo transplants is in the news. A study published today found poo transplants are better at treating a particular type of diarrhoea than an antibiotic or placebo (a fake or dummy treatment)....
...There is also evidence that poo transplants may be beneficial for patients suffering from the gut conditions colitis and Crohn’s disease, a range of infectious or inflammatory liver conditions, and in eliminating antibiotic-resistant bacteria from recipients’ guts.
Preliminary studies also suggest benefit for coeliac disease (in a single person), irritable bowel syndrome (in mice), and for bowel and behavioural symptoms in children with autism spectrum disorders (this was a small study).
