Grandmother Saved by Daughter's Poo

[desertrat]

Dr. Lenny didn't read the article. It was a grown daughter's feces which was liquified and sent directly into the stomach - no eating.

Directly into........stomach acid!

Dr. Lenny says:
C. difficile isn't cured with poo-poo therapy.

All the antibiotics used to killl off the C. difficile also kill off the normal bacteria in the colon leading to lots of fatal complications. Poo therapy might replace the natural bacteria. But I cannot understand how oral adminstration of baby poo would help. If this woman has normal stomach acid production, it would kill any bacteria in the baby poo before it has a chance to get to the colon.

It would have been better to use the poo as a suppository (as long as they remember to remove the foil before inserting).

Question Doc., what keeps the stomach acid from entering the colon?
