Poop: It's not all the same

Think your poop (or pooh, as my daughter says) is not worth a thing? Think again.

Go to the link and see that doctors are now transplanting poop with good bacteria into bowels that lack those bacteria. The transplanted poop helps the recipient digest food and cures a possibly deadly form of diarrhea.

So, if you have good poop, you are lucky.

By the way, if you are taking antibiotics, the drugs may not only kill the bacteria that caused your infection, but they can also kill the good bacteria in your colon. The good news is that once you stop taking the antibiotics, the good bacteria show grow again and your colon returns to normal. The bad news is that without those good colon bacteria you could suffer diarrhea. Be sure to ask your doctor about it.
