I am seeing a lot in the media lately about fecal implants and how this may be beneficial for many issues like Crohns, Colitis, Short Bowel Syndrome. Here’s an article that popped up this morning:

Wouldn’t it be fantastic if we could be helped by this? We are so lucky to live in this time of medical scientific discovery.

FMT isn't new, but I wonder if the results from more recent studies have brought it up to the forefront again.

Exciting to see where this could go!
