Yes, 'fecal transplant' sounds gross, but Mary Greeley's innovative approach is providing fast, effective relief to patients who need it.
There are literally trillions of bacteria in your bowel. Most of them are good, but some are bad and among the baddest is Clostridium difficile, or C. diff. Good bacteria can usually keep C. diff from growing uncontrollably in the bowel. People whose immune systems are compromised because of age, frailty or illness can be susceptible to C. diff. This is why the condition often affects people who are hospitalized or in care facilities.
Fecal transplant involves administering a dose of healthy bacteria into a C. diff-infested bowel. Where do the healthy bacteria come from? They come from the stool sample of a, um, poop donor.
Doctors in gastroenterology and infectious diseases have seen about a 90 percent success rate at Mary Greeley.
