Fecal microbiota transplants can cause a recipient to crave foods their FMT donor regularly ate. This is likely due to the transfer of microbes that prefer living on certain substrates (types of starch, sugar, etc.). Do you consider it "control" if one listens to these urges?

Fecal transplants probably don’t work because better gut flora is more invasive. They are breeding stock. If the new breeds use different nutrients, they may create demand and deficiencies, which the organism registers and tries to compensate for.

I think that this may be a bit superstitious and romantic! Our body is not a federation of cells with different genetic backgrounds, but a fascist dictatorship made from 30 trillion clone warriors and 39 trillion enslaved foreigners. If the slaves rebel, bad things happen.
