Yeah, I am also morbidly curious.
Best case scenario you are right, and she is a well meaning moron who doesn't understand what a fecal transplant actually is. Or maybe found some bad info on the internet about how to "help" her kid.
Worst case, is she was trying to murder her child.
I suppose there is also a Munchausen's by proxy angle as well. Wants to keep the kid sick to keep getting sympathy.
if you look at the wikipedia that moobythegoldensock replied to me with it may sate your curiosity. in the worst kinda way. it sounds a bit like your last line. does not really answer if that is what is wrong with the mom but ugh.
