CostaJambo Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 A woman has dramatically gained weight after a stool transplant from her daughter, doctors report. It is a genuine medical procedure to transplant healthy bacteria into a diseased gut, but US doctors think it may have affected her waistline. She quickly gained 36lb (16kg) and is now classed as obese, the case report in Open Forum Infectious Diseases says. A UK expert said the link between gut bugs and obesity was still unclear. A faecal microbiota transplant - also referred to by some as a "transpoosion" - is like an extreme version of a probiotic yogurt. http://www.bbc.com/news/health-31168511 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizmo Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I am really confused now. As i am slightly over weight, should I eat less shite? No, get a jobby transplant from the skinniest person you know seems to be the implication... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 It would rather revolutionize the diet industry if a partial reason for different sizes of people was down to the make-up of their gut flora affecting the efficiency of their digestion. Perhaps the skinniest of the skinniest could make money from regular "donations".Just take one poo-pill a day... :arry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
