I discussed this with my doctor before I had my stem cell transplant. It was an interesting discussion. A person has several types of bacteria in their stomach/digestive system. It just depends on which types of bacteria a person has that can determine how a person reacts to the side effects from the transplant and the weakened immune system. She said there was little that could be done because they didn't have the expertise to change that bacteria for each individual.
