Possibility Of Poop Capsule Treatment?

Excrement holds keys to understanding your insides, caution should be taken with results in any business promising to shed light on your inside when you sends in samples as results have not been sound. One therapeutic application regarding the microbiome that is holding up is fecal microbiota transplant via ingesting freeze dried poop in capsule form to colonize your colon or colonoscopy, enema, or orogastric tube which has been used to treat a variety of gastrointestinal disorders and neurological conditions.

Not all bacterial sets can treat every symptom, and patients with the same illness may not be healed with the same poop as microbiome diversity is an essential component of individual health and bacterial combinations have to be tailored to each individual patient.

Personalized medicine is an important evolution to understandings of treatments that requires much research and large populations to study yielding some universal treatments, but in regards to the guts there are too many factors needed to be considered, microbiome is an intriguing area of research. Patients with a variety of conditions often have low levels of SCFAs, increasing the acids is speculated to possible improve conditions leading to better overall health.

Over the counter varieties of probiotics has in many cases deceived the public with clinical research only being conducted in animals and humans with disease not disease free subjects; and supplements for general health and well being is unfound with research yielding inconsistent results of actual benefit say Hariom Yadav.

Fecal samples from 34 healthy infants was collected for this study totalling 321 diaper samples. The 10 best samples collected were analyzed by Yadav and team and then used to treat mice and human feces with the same cocktails in single or 5 dose feedings focusing on the proliferation of SCFAs and observing if and how they could repopulate the ecosystems. According to the researchers the work provides evidence human origin probiotics may be exploited as biotherapeutic regimens for human disease associated with gut microbiome imbalance and reduced SCFA production.

Chemistry inside many of the capsules we consume often are not very well understood, maybe freeze dried poop just might be a future treatment for certain diseases. Yadav’s results are not yet conclusive and should be taken with a grain of salt. The state of the guts will continue to fascinate researchers, if a colony of bacteria proves to be helpful in treating some of the many deadly diseases, swallow down those poop pills.
