Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

I’m considering this to be harmful information.
When you wipe out all of your microbiome, chances are it returns to normal in the following months after antibiotic treatment.
Your doctor will know if you need antibiotics because there is a positive test for a bacterial infection.
You have to take the full course to prevent resistance from forming. Resistance will form, no matter what, if you don’t fully eradicate the foreign organism. Studies are conducted to find out what the best course duration is in order to completely eradicate the organism. (STOP-IT trial for Intra Abdominal Infections suggest 4/5 days vs 10 day norm to be effective)
That is something you don’t want to happen because then you have to use stronger antibiotics which will absolutely do more than make your tummy hurt. (Ouch my kidneys)
The only medical indication for a FMT is a C.diff infection that is recurring. This means your microbiome has been wiped and replaced with C. Difficile. A bug that causes severe diarrhea.
If you let resistance flourish, then every single time someone needs to take an antibiotic it will be even more likely they develop a C. Diff infection due to the microbiota being wiped even harder. Resistance will become even more common due to the least harmful antibiotics not being available for use.
If you prevent resistance you prevent the use of harder antibiotics which prevents microbiome damage which prevents c. diff.
Harmful misinformation. A plethora of citations were already provided that debunk that claim.
Harmful misinformation that is contradicted by the citation in the article and numerous other citations that I provided in the OP and my introductory comment.
This makes no sense. I'll rephrase it to make it sensical and accurate:
If you overuse antibiotics, every time someone needs to take an antibiotic it will be even more likely they develop a C. Diff infection due to their microbiota being wiped out previously.

I’ll play your game. Everything in here refutes and proves all your claims wrong, with clinical trials and sources for your enjoyment.
Not even close. You seem to be the only one playing games.
