CROHN’S SUFFERER TREATS SELF WITH MOM’S STOOL, THEN EXPERIENCES MENOPAUSE

A Canadian man who was hospitalized by debilitating Crohn’s disease found relief after treating himself with small amounts of his mother’s stool. But then he started experiencing her menopause symptoms, too. Charlie Curtis, from Toronto, Canada, who’s in his mid 30s, did DIY “poop transplants,” for over four years, which involves a doctor taking a fecal sample from a healthy donor, and blending it with a saline solution. The mixture is then inserted into the recipient’s gastrointestinal tract through an enema. The recipient absorbs healthy bacteria from the donated stool, and this repopulates the bacteria in their gut. Mr. Curtis had been using his mom as a donor and the treatment was working. But then he started experiencing sweating, hot flashes, and mood swings, similar to what his menopausal mom was experiencing. Says his mom, Sky Curtis, “At the time, I was going through menopause. And so was he!”
* And then he started wearing leopard-skin skirts and tried to pick up young, dumb men in bars.
* Once again, I have to apologize to anyone eating breakfast.
* How does one approach this? With a Mother’s Day card? “As a mom, you’re pretty cool. / Can I have some of your stool?”
* Who thought this up? Some proctologist on an acid trip?
* All I know is, this will all work out in the end.
* There’s what happened, folks. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
