Grandmother saved by daughter's poo: A grandmother who contracted a potentially fatal superbug in Scotland has been saved after a hospital fed her daughter’s faeces to her.-
Ethel McEwan, an 83-year-old from Guardbridge, Fife, was near death after contracting Clostridium Difficile. But she was saved after receiving a "faecal transplant" from her daughter, Winnifred. The treatment involves liquidising a sample of faeces from a close relative of the patient, and feeding the liquid down a tube into the stomach. The treatment restores the bacteria to levels at which they help the recovery process.
