This is interesting, because her daughterās flora should be descended from her flora. I wonder if thereās a ghrelin / leptin change thatās mediated by gut flora.
This is an interesting case, but letās not jump directly onto the STOOL TRANSPLANTS KILL bandwagon. This is one case out of thousands, it did cure the womanās life-threatening infection, and they havenāt even proved causation yet.
The daughter was overweight at the time and was in the process of becoming obese.
Sounds to me like any number of things may have tipped the scales.
Oh I get it.
But but, I heard the driver of that wagon is RAND PAUL!!
Considering fecal transplants are hard to promote to the public because of the ick factor, I donāt think calling it a āturd transplantā helps anything.
In fact that phrase should be added to the book of back handed compliments. You Turd transplant.
Itās not jumping to āZOMGSTOOLTRANSPLANTSKILL!!!11!!!one!!1ā to say, āThatās curious. It may point to interactions between gut flora and body conditions such as insulin resistance, ghrelin/leptin balances, and obesity that bear exploring.ā
I think weād be hard-pressed to come up one that doesnāt have the ick factor.
But letās try.
Sharing a loaf?
Dropping the kidās off at a neighbor with his own pool?
Donating brownies to the sick?
Letting the neighbor drop your kids off at the pool?
Sample size of one?
Not enough to count as a full-blown statistical study.
Just enough to raise an eyebrow and go āthis is interesting, letās do more researchā.
Eat shit and diet?
bung shit and diet.
Despite the fact that there is only one example to draw conclusions from, if it does happen to be true, the question no one is asking is this :
āIf the intestinal flora of a fat person can make you fat, can the flora of a thin person make you thin?ā
Given the amount of money in weight loss industry, I bet this question is asked.
And, once this gets researched more and the results will be at least half-encouraging, there will be people DIYing this. The yuck factor will repel most but not all.
Edit: Already there, though not for weight loss per se.

ā¦and WAY more for ādiy fecal transplantā query.
Iād still rather wait for a thin pill 
Throwing a hot dog up the hallway?
Its just a branding and delivery issueā¦ pro-biotic yogurts are essentially the same thing.
The science seems sound, we need a better nameā¦
Tummy transfer?
Colonic tonic?
Flora elixir?
Anything but āturd transplantā Cory!!!
