Fecal transplants can be life-saving for people with stubborn bacterial infections, but they're not for the faint of heart. So doctors have come up with a way to make them more palatable: the frozen poop pill.

This article made me smile. I suffered from c-diff for a week. After that week it will take a lot to embarrass me. Thankfully, I spent that week in the hospital and had an awesome staff. One nice nurse slipped me some pretty heavy duty cleaning wipes so I could clean up my own mess. I would then let them know where the "special places" were that needed extra precaution. (I actually had to beg to get them. They thought it unnecessary for me to clean up my own mess. But for me it made for less stress to clean up myself.) My doctor mentioned fecal transplants but it never went further than a passing comment. I personally would prefer the colonoscopy method than the frozen pills.
