It's really astonishing to me that IBS, IBD, Crohn's, etc, could've simply been treated by transplanting intestinal bacteria from healthy patients. Also really depressing, due to how many people suffer from these conditions, and for how long, and with such horrible social and health complications. And the costs. All over something so simple.

Doctors are too busy classifying every illness as autoimmune so they can tell patients is a lifestyle and stress problem so go away and don't bother them.
