University of Calgary develops Fecal Transplant to repopulate the Large Intestine after a Clostridium difficile treatment - How to cure diarrhoea, cramping and bloating after eating infected food



“There's no stool left — just stool bugs. These people are not eating poop”

Infectious Disease Specialist Dr Thomas Louie, at the University of Calgary

Clostridium difficile infections are very serious, resulting in diarrhea, vomiting and frequent use of the bathroom due to the frequent bowel movements. With medication, good Bacteria living in your large Intestine are also killed, leaving you susceptible to other infections. 


So Infectious Disease Specialist Dr Thomas Louie have come up with a novel solution to replace this good Bacteria that helps with the digestion of roughage: fecal transplants as explained in the article “Pills made from poop cure serious gut infections”, published Saturday, October 05, 2013 9:03 AM, The Jamaica Observer and “'Poop' pills can treat C. difficile, Calgary doctor says”, published Oct 03, 2013 4:24 PM MT Last Updated: Oct 03, 2013 5:36 PM MT, The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

The Fecal transplant method was devised by Infectious Disease Specialist Dr Thomas Louie, at the University of Calgary. They take fecal matter aka shit from out of your ass or rather, from your relatives ass and process it removing the roughage, undigested food particles and via Bacterial culturing. Eventually they separate and culture the good Bacteria that’s responsible for the proper function of your digestive tract as shown below.



This is done as in the past antibiotic, mostly cocktails of good Bacteria to replace the dead ones have failed. Thus this new approach has been devised as it’s tailored to the patient; the good Bacteria are harvested from relatives of the patient. I’m not sure how that makes a difference, as the Bacteria are pathogens that live in your stomach, small and large Intestine and actually outnumber your body’s own cells in terms of number.

They help in the digestion of certain foods and are able to survive in the acidic conditions that exist inside of the stomach. Without them, you’d be unable to eat certain types of animal proteins and very leafy and starchy foods. You’d be unable to produce roughage necessary to keep you regular and eventually all that starchy foods and vegetables would make it difficult for you to defecate or “hardbound” as Jamaicans say and eventually over time you’d develop cancer in the Large Intestine or Pile as it’s commonly called.

Fecal Transplants – Healthy Stomach and no smelly burps

Once the Bacteria are grown, the Fecal transplants procedure involves first giving the patient taking the antibiotics to kill off the Clostridium difficile infection as shown below. Once the Clostridium difficile are confirmed dead and gone from your system, they then do an enema, similar to those used by porn stars before they do anal sex. This washes out the colon completely and prepares the large Intestine for seeding with the new Bacteria.


This new Bacteria is packages in a triple coated gel packets to prevent them from bursting open before they reach the Large Intestine. The patient is then made to take 24 to 30 of them which are swallowed all in one sitting. Within a few days the bacteria takes hold and your stomach and Large Intestine are repopulate with these essential bacteria that live in your stomach and help you to digest food.

The approach has worked well thus far with 27 guinea pigs…or rather human patients….. used by Infectious Disease Specialist Dr Thomas Louie. This treatment goes mainstream, it;’; provide relief for some 1 million patients each year as well as the embarrassment of going regularly to the bathroom, and prevent approximately 14,000 deaths among Baby boomers (ages 45 to 99) that result from serious Clostridium difficile infections.
