From my basic understanding of gut science, the bacteria that do the actual digestion for you grow and multiply based on what you eat. So if you're a professional athlete and you eat a diet tailored for performance you'll have more bacteria for digesting protein and carbohydrates. If you're a normal schlub like us you'll have a mix of stuff depending on what you tend to eat.

You cam shift your gut flora but it takes years and years of work to do but fecal transplants basically put a whole package of the bacteria you want directly into your gut kick starting that shift if you're feeding them the stuff that they want.

I've read about this sort of thing for trying to cure various gastro-intestinal conditions like crohns but not specifically for performance gains. Sounds possibly legit but as with all "miracle treatments" potentially complete bullshit magic beans.

it doesn't take years and years, it takes like 2 years maybe with noticable changes in what foods you want to eat within like.. months.. of consistently eating the target foods.

like i've done it myself, you just start with adding a small amount of the target food to your meals, increasing it until you're comfortable with a normal portion, and keep keep eating that portion with your meals. Before you know it you find yourself thinking "man i want some beans" or whatever.

A few years ago i ate a standard garbage western diet with lots of fast food and soda, now it feels pretty wrong to not have any vegetables in a meal and i often get very specific gut-deep cravings for specific healthy foods.

I should sell my shit. I don't gain weight regardless of how much I eat. Anyone want to try some?

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 39 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yes. Please mail it to 1600 Pensilvania Ave, Washington DC

[–] icelimit@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago

Looks like a big house. How about a million couric's worth for everyone there?

[–] Sadbutdru@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I was like that until I discovered i had coeliac disease in my mid 30s. Once I stopped eating gluten and my gut repaired, I put on weight and had to start paying attention to what I eat like a normal person. Enjoy your superpower while it lasts.

[–] icelimit@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pretty sure I don't have that as my diet is already mostly gluten free. Or should I get it checked out? My dad's side of the family is also all skinny

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You might just be an ectomorph, that's hereditary. Iirc it's caused by a fast metabolism, whatever that means

[–] icelimit@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

Ectomorph? Can I shape shift?

[–] 474D@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Uh oh... I have all those symptoms

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Get checked. Celiac is very dangerous if not accommodated for

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

My gut flora watching the 16th fun sized Snickers bar in 2 hrs come sliding down the pipeline

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Years and years is an edge case. Within a year or so you'll notice the changes. Changes I've personally experienced include cutting out sugar and substitutes and completely losing my sweet tooth within a few months, and quitting meat and after about a year I could tell whenever I accidentally eat it from the gastrointestinal discomfort.

The thing is you gotta commit to it.

[–] BagOfHeavyStones@piefed.social 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I suppose "bullshit magic beans" means we can eat grass now?

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 2 points 1 week ago

No, because our stomachs still do most of the work. It just makes it easier for the fuy fauna to access other nutrients.

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 25 points 1 week ago

If you don’t want to eat shit, try eating fermented food, especially stuff you ferment yourself. Kimchi, sauerkraut, fermented pickles…all good for refreshing your gut biome.

Fecal transplanting is actually a legitimate medical treatment.

[–] starchylemming@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

indeed ...and yet!

"eat shit"

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

True, but surely it doesn't work the way South Park joked about.

[–] thagoat@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 1 week ago

Enshitification

[–] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

...I would try it. My gut biome is shot.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Years of drinking destroyed mine, and it's all my fault. I would also try it.

[–] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 3 points 1 week ago

Same. There was no other way! 🥂

[–] frog@feddit.uk 13 points 1 week ago

You almost gave me a heart attack. I thought this was an ad placed in Lemmy.

You scared the shit out of me.

...

Why do I have the urge to go to the gym?

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ok, but like... Couldn't they isolate and identify the bacteria strains and then make them fresh? Maybe 2 or 3 generations removed from direct poop? And like wash your hands between handling the poop and making the pill? Or does that defeat the purpose?

[–] ImWaitingForRetcons@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The first part is not feasible, since the microbiome has thousands, if not tens of thousands, of distinct species, we aren’t at a point where we could individually isolate, analyse, and reproduce all of these strains successfully.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ugh, fine, I'll eat the poop I guess.

Goodish news..... You wouldn't be eating the poop. It'd be thrown in a blender until it reached an enema appropriate viscosity.

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 11 points 1 week ago

TIL: I’d rather not crush it at the gym

[–] Zamboni_Driver@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago

The spice melange

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 10 points 1 week ago

Literal shitpost.

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

CRUSHING IT AT THE GYM IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD! GIMME THE POOP!!

[–] devilish666@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] Rhaxapopouetl@ttrpg.network 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Please, tell me at least that it's not intended to be put in the mouth...

[–] Ypsilenna@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

I thought eating healthier specimens' poop was what rodents did. The last time I checked, humans weren't classified as rodents 😂

[–] pH3ra@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

Turns out my dog was an athlete all along

[–] Emi@ani.social 6 points 1 week ago

So basically This southpark episode.

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

South Park was on point with this episode

I would like to buy your shit, please.

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

"Work out longer" so... more exercise? No thank you.
