You\u2019ve heard all the jokes- what\u2019s your poo telling you?, eat sh&t and die, you\u2019re full of sh&t. Today we are going in deep and discussing how \u201ceating\u201d poo can actually save people! ( no they don\u2019t really have to eat it, but it makes a great title!) Fecal microbiota transplant ( FMT) aka a stool transplant, is the process of transferring stool from a healthy patient into another individual. Currently in the USA,\xa0 the only FDA approved use of this treatment is for C. difficile infections. It has been used experimentally to treat other GI diseases such as IBS, colitis, and even some neurological conditions like MS, Parkinsons and even autism. What is even more amazing, is that the 10,000 plus species of microorganisms in the GI tract make up a unique \u201cmicrobiome\u201d in each individual. There is huge diversity in the gut microbiome depending on diet, genetics, environment and overall health of the individual. Research is exploring the potential curative role of gut bacteria in various diseases. Our guest expert on this subject is Dr. Sabine Hazan, a Gastroenterologist and scientific researcher in the subject of FMT. She launched ProgenaBiome, a genetic sequencing research company dedicated to understanding the gut flora at the clinical level. Her book, \u201cLet\u2019s Talk Sh&t\u201d is a fun, informative read for clinicians to lay people.\xa0 The first woman ever accepted into the University of Florida as a Clinical Gastroenterology Fellow, Dr. Sabine Hazan is a pioneer in the medical field. Board certified in Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Internal Medicine, Dr. Hazan has published articles in numerous prestigious medical journals, including theJournal of Duval County Medical Association and Gastroenterology, and won several awards, such as the Best Fellow Scientific Presentation and Dean\u2019s Research Award awarded by University of Florida.\xa0 In addition,\xa0 Dr. Sabine Hazan is an acclaimed speaker and presented symposiums for influential medical organizations like the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and Astra Merk, Inc.
