There has been a lot of news stories about individuals who suffers from cronic digestive disorders and were near death, but had a fecal transplant and withing days began to make dramatic improvement.  Tell us your story if you have had such a procedure.  According to medical journals, there may be at least 500 different species of gut flora in the normal human digestive system.  Most supplements contain only 5 to 10 different species.  Most of us have taken antibiotics numerous times.  If we kill everything off with an antibiotic, can we ever fully recover on our own? Could this be the root cause of our digestive problems?

    If you look up all my previous postings, you will see that my chronic sore throat/ gerd/ airway reflux/ lpr or whatever I have all started early 2014 after a few rounds of antibiotics. I wanted to kill an infection that I now believe I never had. Right after the antibiotics, Gerd like symptoms have been present and have never gone away even with various diet and medications.
