FMT Declared 'The Ultimate Pro-biotic'

The Gastroenterological Society of Australia has declared fecal microbiota transplantation to be "The Ultimate Probiotic" following the results of a study published in the New England Medical Journal indicating conclusive results for the treatment for C Diff.

The Australian society has changed their previous view in which they had considered fecal transplant to be unsafe and recommended against it. A clinic is to be established at the Royal Adelaide Hospital in South Australia next year.  The article noted that FMT had become mainstream in many centres overseas for treatment of C Diff.  

Thanks to Dorothy for sending in this momentous news. I feel like sending it to the arrogant gastro-enterologist I saw in 2010 who screwed up his nose like an eight-year old and squirmed 'but it's pooooo!'

Hopefully it will only be a matter of time before there is sufficient research on the benefits of FMT for other conditions. As you know, the goal of this blog is to become redundant when backyard FMT is a thing of the past. Will the journey be over soon?  Will we soon have safe accessible FMT for all who need it?

No man should escape our universities without knowing how little he knows.
