Hold your nose and don't spit out your coffee: Doctors have found a way to put healthy people's poop into pills that can cure serious gut infections — a less yucky way to do "fecal transplants."

why it fell out of favor? probiotics aren’t exotic, expensive medicine that you can rack up huge bills to charge healthcare plans for.
no profit...no mention
This is not new...it’s been done for years...using donor poop from family members of the patient...now for the taking shit from the family jokes:
