So instead of a blood transfusion you get a $hit transfusion. No thanks.

Do I at least get a free cookie if I make a donation at the Brown Cross?

Yes, because blood would do zero for this.

It works, by and large. When nothing else (special antibiotics, which can still kill the good bacteria and continue the cycle) seems to relieve people stuck with this pestilence.

Depends on how sick you are. C Diff happens when all your good bacteria have died (usually from anti-biotics which are unfortunately not that selective). Turns out the intestinal track is a lot like an aquarium, there’s stuff in there with bad names (like bacteria) that help the whole system stay in balance. And much like an aquarium a bit of “gravel transplant” can jump start the process of rebuilding the good bacteria and getting things working right again.
