Update: Inconclusive. The month or so after this I did seem to have a better stomach, but was still within typical variance. I ended up having to take antibiotics, which immediately destroyed my stomach and its been bad since then, so idk. I'm planning on trying again though!

I ate poop! With the help of @sentientist I ate 23 pills of poo from a donor with a "stomach of steel" (who was also kind enough to poop into a blender). I had no negative effects or nausea. This was a DIY fecal transplant to hopefully help my really persistent stomach issues. 1/

Oh, that's a shame. I'm kinda hoping these things do work. I've wondered if antibiotics brought on my Crohn's/IBD, I'd had several courses of different antibiotics for sinusitis a few years ago and had never had any gut issues prior to that then boom, serious problems started.

1. I’ve read about fecal transplants done at a clinic and the subjects took a special antibiotic beforehand, one that doesn’t cross the intestinal lumen into the blood 2. Different portions of the intestine have different bacterial mix, it’s very important where the caps dissolve
