I'm willing to try anything safe and shown to be effective scientifically. However, at the moment I have poor health insurance and little disposable income, and my GI doc wants me to do a CT scan that would cost me $1600 out of pocket to rule out IBD and a few other things before continuing. So basically I've hit a brick wall for the time being.

I knew people were talking shit on Hacker News, but I didn't realize that it was such a literal thing! :P

On a serious note, yes, this. I have a cousin who had really bad problems until he did such a transplant, and he said it pretty much gave him a new life.
