From my basic understanding of gut science, the bacteria that do the actual digestion for you grow and multiply based on what you eat. So if you're a professional athlete and you eat a diet tailored for performance you'll have more bacteria for digesting protein and carbohydrates. If you're a normal schlub like us you'll have a mix of stuff depending on what you tend to eat.

You cam shift your gut flora but it takes years and years of work to do but fecal transplants basically put a whole package of the bacteria you want directly into your gut kick starting that shift if you're feeding them the stuff that they want.

I've read about this sort of thing for trying to cure various gastro-intestinal conditions like crohns but not specifically for performance gains. Sounds possibly legit but as with all "miracle treatments" potentially complete bullshit magic beans.

I suppose "bullshit magic beans" means we can eat grass now?

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 2 points 3 days ago

No, because our stomachs still do most of the work. It just makes it easier for the fuy fauna to access other nutrients.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Years and years is an edge case. Within a year or so you'll notice the changes. Changes I've personally experienced include cutting out sugar and substitutes and completely losing my sweet tooth within a few months, and quitting meat and after about a year I could tell whenever I accidentally eat it from the gastrointestinal discomfort.

The thing is you gotta commit to it.

If you don’t want to eat shit, try eating fermented food, especially stuff you ferment yourself. Kimchi, sauerkraut, fermented pickles…all good for refreshing your gut biome.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 17 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Fecal transplanting is actually a legitimate medical treatment.

[–] starchylemming@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

indeed ...and yet!

"eat shit"

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

True, but surely it doesn't work the way South Park joked about.

[–] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

...I would try it. My gut biome is shot.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Years of drinking destroyed mine, and it's all my fault. I would also try it.

[–] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 3 points 3 days ago

Same. There was no other way! 🥂

You almost gave me a heart attack. I thought this was an ad placed in Lemmy.

You scared the shit out of me.

Why do I have the urge to go to the gym?

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ok, but like... Couldn't they isolate and identify the bacteria strains and then make them fresh? Maybe 2 or 3 generations removed from direct poop? And like wash your hands between handling the poop and making the pill? Or does that defeat the purpose?

[–] ImWaitingForRetcons@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The first part is not feasible, since the microbiome has thousands, if not tens of thousands, of distinct species, we aren’t at a point where we could individually isolate, analyse, and reproduce all of these strains successfully.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ugh, fine, I'll eat the poop I guess.

Goodish news..... You wouldn't be eating the poop. It'd be thrown in a blender until it reached an enema appropriate viscosity.

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 10 points 3 days ago

TIL: I’d rather not crush it at the gym

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 10 points 3 days ago

Literal shitpost.

CRUSHING IT AT THE GYM IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD! GIMME THE POOP!!

[–] Emi@ani.social 6 points 3 days ago

So basically This southpark episode.

[–] Ypsilenna@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 days ago

I thought eating healthier specimens' poop was what rodents did. The last time I checked, humans weren't classified as rodents 😂

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

South Park was on point with this episode
