Clostridium difficile (C-diff) is a serious infection that can cause nausea, diarrhea, and can even disable you. There are antibiotics to treat it but they can cause even more long term damage to your body by killing other good bacterias in your stomach. To keep this from happening doctors are developing a new form of treatment, poop pills. These poop pills are made from a healthy donor's stool bacteria, the bacteria is put into triple coated capsules and given to a C-diff patient. Although it takes 24-34 pills to treat a patient it can permanently cure C-diff. Making the pills can take time so the doctors are also trying to find a way to give everyone with C-diff the treatment they need all over the world by freezing the poop and shipping
