FDA approves first pill that’s literally filled with human fecal matter

You can't even make this stuff up.

The FDA just approved a pill to fight Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) that is literally just filled with other people's poop.

C. diff is a particularly nasty bacteria that results in uncontrollable diarrhea and is responsible for 30,000 to 40,000 deaths in the United States every year.

Most cases of C. diff occur after someone has been on antibiotics for an extended period, wiping out all the naturally occurring bacteria in their gut, allowing C. diff to propagate unabated.

The new pill called Vowst has fecal matter from healthy people and is full of the helpful bacteria that the antibiotics killed off.

Compared to placebo in a double-blind trial it was pretty effective: only 12% on Vowst had C. diff reoccur versus 39% on the placebo.

That's great and all, but mainlining other people's fecal matter just seems unclean.

If I have to do it, I'd rather just have some Ezekiel bread.

It’s a bit of an improvement. For intractable cases they have done fecal transfer enemas.

Who thinks this is just a hoax played by libtards in the medical industry who have a bet over how many will swallow poop based on their recommendation?

Just turn on CNN/MSNBC/ABC/CBS/NBC/NPR or any college campus radio station and you can get all the **** you can eat.

Healthy bacteria are important!
Whatever means to deliver them is OK.
BTW, Mom Koala, the cuddly bear from Australia, feeds their young her own poop when they are ready to be weaned out.
Just so they can be ready for the eucalyptus leaves only diet they spend all rest of their lives on.

If during the next “pandemic,” taking of this pill is mandated before you can have a job or fly on a plane or go to school, 80% of Americans will dutifully line up for their doses. Meanwhile TV and radio will run government produced commercials day and night urging us to “Take The Poop Pill” for the good of everyone.

This would be readily accepted by the fag community.

Not a hoax. I’ve had c-diff 5 times after IV antibiotics. The last time about 4 years ago. This treatment was in the works. Vancomycin was the only option I was given at that time.

“FDA approves first pill that’s literally filled with human fecal matter”

Been around for decades, it’s called ‘statins’.

A pill that has active bacteria in it would certainly lose efficacy when it is dissolved by stomach acids. I would think the bacteria would die as a result.

Not a hoax. It has been under discussion and experimentation for more that 10 years.

Fat people have a different composition of intestinal bacteria that thin people. The idea is to alter the composition of bacteria.

This is for a specific condition, but has been in trails for weight loss.

The enemas are pretty common, I’ve heard — and effective.
