Fecal Microbiota Transplants: The Ins and Outs of FMT

- Poop. You flush it, and usually that’s the end of the story. But to scientists like Mark Smith, poop is more than just waste - it’s medicine.
Join Mark Smith and Jack Gilbert for a Reddit AMA on Tuesday, March 6th! Follow us @TangledBankHHMI for more details.
A healthy intestinal tract is teeming with trillions of microbes, which generally keep us infection-free by fending off attacks from bad bacteria that make us sick. But sometimes, bad bacteria like Clostridium difficile can take hold, causing chronic and painful diarrhea, or even death. “C Diff” is normally treated with an intensive course of antibiotics, but this sometimes makes things worse by weakening the gut microbiome and leaving it susceptible to further infection. Mark Smith things he has a solution: poop. He’s treating patients who aren’t helped by the standard antibiotic treatment with new “fecal transplants.” It’s exactly what it sounds like-transplanting stool from healthy donors into sick patients. Doctors have observed remarkable recovery rates with this novel technique… but how does it work?

A lot of people say I'm not going to eat a s*** pill I'm not going to have a tube stuff down my throat and having punk s*** in my stomach but if you are suffering bad enough you will do anything and people that say they won't have never really suffered they don't know what it's like to truly suffer
Can you get celebrity microbial like from professional athletes such as Tom Brady or Michael Jordan well Michael Jordan's old now but maybe a young professional athlete
YES!! Would love to do this-- c diff sucks.
I've been trying to interest my students (Human Anatomy and Physiology) in this for many years. I plan to use your video to try to convince them that I'm not insane.
This is what we love to hear!

2018:
Why you lying
I'm covering microbio with my students and they will definitely be seeing this in class
Fantastic! Hope your students find this topic as fascinating as we did.
Posting this on Blackboard as we speak! :-)
I have IBS and think this is a wonderful idea. To say I want one via unsedated colonoscopy (so I could watch) is an understatement.
I've had a C-DIFF infection once about a year ago. Luckily I was able to use antibiotics to clear the infection. I was preented the option of FMT if the antibiotics didn't work. Luckily I did not have to take that course.
Can I take fmt without taking antibiotics?????
@@justamerica856 in a world where individuals have health sovereignty, yes.
1:40 had me cracking up😂
Plop! Lol
I wonder, where I can find a tshirt like yours, with the dandelion puff on it?
This was a really interesting summary. Makes me wonder about the variability in the effectiveness of different donors poo? Do some some donors have superpoops that make the patients recover really well, or are all donors pretty similar?
Well as far as research can tell, healthy poop is healthy poop! When looking at studies where patients chose a healthy donor themselves vs anonymous healthy donors, there is no significant difference in effectiveness.
Very interesting, thanks!
Domain of Science ㅁㅅ이ㅏ
I'm thinking I'd like my donor to be a genius/supermodel/athlete
I need to do this because I just can’t pass out any bowel movements. I was diagnosed with MS and it started after that with not being to go. I have inflamed all. Straining and pushing so I’m very desperate. Thank gosh I’m slim n I didn’t balloon over this problem not being able to release. Takes 3hrs concentration with my mind (brain) to my bowels to release anything. Drives me crazy and feel like ripping my hair out :(
PS I removed my MS no more pain but the only thing that reminds me of MS is problems with bowels now. 2019 was when I was diagnosed with MS after a MRI scan and that took less than a year to repair my myelin Sheath causing the pain but Bowelllllls longer. I have never taken any pain medication for pain because I’ve always believed in fighting the root cause and not masking it But my bowels are taking longer to restore:((((((
If it works, it works. We just have to suppress the yuk factor.
Does this work with a disease called PATM (people allergic to me)? Because people suffer after taking antibiotocs?
Will this prevent pharma from selling ineffective meds on this?
So far there's no treatment (except FMT)
How do I get FMT for my epilepsy?
Best video
DEFINITELY does not gross me out! Seems obvious and should have been done long tie ago (like when drs started mass prescribing antibiotics). Keep it up, Poo Scientists!

pamela daley the reason we need poo as a medicine is because of antibiotics. Its because of antibiotics that certain viruses have no weakness to any antibiotics available at this time. For years antibiotics have been the easy answer. Now that easy answer has created super organisms.

American medical model gets in the way of simple cures
I wonder if the modern diet of processed food, preservatives and chlorinated water has had a negative impact on our internal biome and thus on our health?
Ya think?!
It is awesome
How long has this treatment been going on? What are its drawbacks? There are many questions unanswered.
Looks like someone has a research project to start. ;)
Well, that was unusual. However, gives me hope about Crohn disease and irritable bowel and perhaps many others.
thanks.
Gives us hope too! Although rates of successful treatment are not as high as with Cdiff infection, FMTs are already being used in studies treating conditions like ulcerative colitis and inflammatory bowel disease. Even more interesting is that patients who receive FMT for a GI condition have experienced the resolution of symptoms related to other diseases, such as multiple sclerosis. The mechanisms are not clear yet, but the door is open to research a wide range of FMT possibilities that we should expect to develop over the next several years.
Host is a nice guy but wearing a brown shirt in the thumbnail next to poop emoji was maybe a bad choice.
This appeared as an add while I took a shit
The guy looks is about to eat it in the thumbnail
Where can I get some poop in a pill?? Give me a hospital name.
Good
IT IS A CHOCOLET ICE CREAM EMOJI!!!!!!
How does this, why does this, I'm so confused wtf
I’m so glad he thinks it’s going to be good because normally they say it will be bad but who do I care I’ll be dead
I HOPE MY SIS DON'T HAVE IT SHE HAS TROUBLE WITH POOP
The spice, i must have it!
LOL nice!
the spice melonge
The only reason why I clicked on this was because of South Park 💀💀💀
I never wanna poop again.
So I am good for some reason
0:35 lol
can this be done with it kids sense they r great healthy candidates of course only of they don't have any GI issues
cool
Years ago I had a bad sinus infection. Doctors prescribed five rounds of antibiotics back-to-back, resulting in a C Diff diagnosis.
After losing 30 pounds, I was nauseated everyday and could barely eat anything.
And then…
I decided to consume $200/month in probiotic supplements. I mixed and matched lots of different strains.
Started eating more, little by little, regained my weight and got better!
Very intrigued by fecal transplant therapy and hope we learn more soon.
I'm taking saccharomyces boulliardi w/ FOS and lactobacillus rhamnosus w/FOS because I have c diff. How long did it take for you to recover? I'm 4 months in with c diff and probiotics for 3 months..... thank you.
@@raewise6345 you should check out BumBiotics, good luck.
@@ScoutFX I will. Thank you.
@@ScoutFX I did! About to order....😁
5:30 *NO*
Well, If human poop makes good medicine, I wanna get a job processing donor poop so I could enjoy the odor of it.
Donor poop still smells like rotten shit , bacteria stink .
Breakthru
My fear is getting so far away from the Chinese simple method to complexity for profitability. The American way
I believe in this shit! :) V.
Wow if it helpspeople I'm ok with it ....now whatabout per
I think they get more people to do this if they lied and told the people that the poop come from Tom Brady Michael Jordan Shawn Michaels you know a top athlete Stone Cold Steve Austin's poop you know that be pretty cool you know classic 1986 hulk Hogan poop
5:03 kinda sus
weird 🙄
CDF bad
The power of poop groas
Uêjekekekke
