Episode 248
Published 5 years, 11 months ago
Description
Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) means taking the stool from a healthy donor and transplanting it into the colon of the host (a sick individual). There is excellent evidence to support the use of FMT for clostridium difficile and emerging evidence for the treatment of IBD. The data for IBS is still unclear. It's best to try other therapies first. https://drruscio.com/?p=56682
