A member asked:
Can i request a fecal transplant from my doctor for non-c. difficile intestinal issues? recent studies showing great success in ibs/ulcerative colitis patients. wouldn't hurt to try it?

Careful...: This is a great treatment option for some, but is not a cure all.There is much we do not yet understand about the bacterial gardens contained within each of us.We do know that changing the makeup of our intestinal micro biome can have consequences both good and bad.For instance, there is some data that fecal transplants from obese patients increases your chance of becoming obese. Food for thought.
