You would think they could find a less disgusting way to "reintroduce friendly bacteria into the gut."
Trials in a Scottish hospital have shown patients suffering from the Clostridium difficile bug can be cured using 'donor stool' administered via a tube through the nose into their stomach.
Who thought up this procedure? Brilliant thinking about the bacteria but not so much on the dosing part. They put all kinds of friendly bacteria in yogurt these days, why not these? Not disgusting enough for a hospital setting?
