    Seriously, if this could cure my IBS I would be ingesting all the poop all the time. In pill form.

      probiotics have really helped me with all of my digestive disorders... the good ones are a bit pricey though...

      One would think! If needed, I would SO rather take a lot of pills in a short time than have to have a fecal transplant, all of the methods for which seem very uncomfortable.

    I spent a week in the hospital with c.diff. It is a horrible painful illness. And the current medication for it is almost as bad as the disease. 34 poop pills sounds a lot better than a few courses of flagyl. Really. And that doesn't even take into account the smell associated with this illness. Dear god.

      I got C.Diff after major surgery last year, and the recovery from C.Diff was WAY harder than the surgery. Just the word "flagyl" triggers my gag reflex. As sick as I was, it's hard to imagine swallowing so many pills in fifteen minutes.

      I have another major surgery coming up (cancer sucks, what can I say?), and I'm scared to death that the C. Diff will come back- it kind of lays in wait for you to be vulnerable, right?

      Hope my poop donor has some of those skinny person flora, just sayin'.

      The kid's not wrong. I mean, most of the time when I have stomach-area pain, pooping by choice or diarrhea does fix that problem right quick. Of course, for me as a adult to say that, I sound like a weirdo whereas he sounds like an adorable kiddo.

      Yeah, I really need some of those poop pills too. I tried to get my best friend to let me eat his poop but he would not consent. How rude.

    I'm sorry.... how exactly does one become a "poop donor?" Are there criteria? Are you more desirable if you eat vegan or Paleo or will wine and Sun Chips cut it? Is it like blood donation where you're in a line and you have to poop somewhere in public where you just KNOW a bunch of other people pooped first?!?! I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS.

    It's my favorite! I'm a physician and I'm dying to write an order for it.

    Have you heard they're coming out with a synthetic version? The brand name is RePOOPulate.

    AHAHAHA!

    Plus, it's awesome because it can do a lot of good. They're also researching it for people with inflammatory bowel disease.
