I generally don’t imagine the state of a colon even under the best of circumstances (healthy, high-fiber diet, etc.) but in this case, I’m genuinely curious. I guess two years of antibiotics would kill all your friendly gut bacteria?
It's ok though, they have fecal transplants that can help.
How often do you hear that sentence?
(For anybody who's never heard of it, it's exactly what it sounds like)
There's still so much research that still needs to be done on it and nowhere near enough test data. The transplants could in theory help quite a few people who just don't even have a chance of getting access to it.
It's also not something that is widely available.
