Studies show that transplanting faeces in liquid form from healthy people to patients with stubborn Clostridium difficile infections can stop the wrenching intestinal symptoms by restoring healthy gut bacteria. Clostridium Difficile infections are dangerous gastric bacterial infections that has defied antibiotics and kills about 14,000 Americans each year.
The faecal transplant involves delivery of a faecal solution via the rectum or a tube inserted through the nose. However, the 'poo pill' has basically simplified the unpleasant transplant method. Faeces from healthy donors are stored in the form of a capsule and kept frozen.
