I'm a bit surprised the stool transplant is given orally rather than anally.
I suppose upstream is done too, but actually, I think it's usually given nasally ;)
I guess it's simpler and more comfortable that way, you're going downstream so peristalsis and gravity does the work. You don't need to wait with a rather bulky tube up your colon. A thin feeding tube doesn't feel like anything once it's in place.
ETA: wait, did someone actually think they make people eat feces?
It seems you find inferential distance from where you least expect it. Judging from the story that was ages ago and the guy must have been short on feeding tubes. If not, I would've fired him too.
