I read a very interesting article today about new research which involves taking fecal material from a healthy donor and transplanting it into the duodenum of people suffering from Clostridium Difficile infections.
Seems like this treatment is much more effective than using antibiotics to treat these difficult infections since it is thought to reconstitute the normal gut bacterial flora and thus get rid of the C. Difficile.
Another use for something we are normally eager to dispose of on a regular basis.
