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.

Why?


My 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.


it'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.


Pretty 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.
