Show 935: Forget the Ick Factor--Stool Transplants Can Save Lives
Clostridium difficile (C. diff) infections can cause devastating diarrhea. This poses an increasingly frequent complication to hospitalization or time in a rehab facility. Although C. diff may be treated with various high-potency antibiotics, it doesn't always respond and may come back time after time. One unique treatment uses stool transplants to repopulate the gut with beneficial bacteria that can crowd out the C. diff.
Overcoming Recurrent C Diff Infections:
We hear from one woman whose recurrent C. diff infections nearly killed her. A stool transplant saved her life. Find out how she managed it and why it inspired her to start a foundation.
