I refuse to read something that uses the crude word gut when refering to the intestines, bowels or digestive organs of a human being.

Guts are what is ripped out of caught fish or cut from harvested deer in the field.

Alright Mugsy, spill your guts!   Did you start this vulgar trend?

Essentially, subjects had their gut microbiome cleared out and received a new one from a transplant of healthy donor stool.

So when I got punched in the gut and it was my stomach, I guess we both had the location all wrong.

Nomenclature aside, ain't no way my 21 year old autistic son would agree to getting a poop swap.

There's a regional female doctor who has a talk radio show and she talks a lot about the microbiome and even the stool donor thing. I just can't fathom it considering it's our nastiest excretion. So nasty, it's supposed to be unsafe to make compost from.

I just started buying raw milk from the new Amish store up the road and we're reducing processed foods. On the way back from the Amish store is a farm that's also a state inspected processor and sells their grass fed beef so I'm going to start shopping there too. Been there once and the prices weren't too bad and the beef was good.

Mainly doing it for general health purposes but if it helps the kid, all the better. Might try some yogurt sometime. After all, what ends up in the lower intestine, starts out in the stomach and then upper intestine.
