Faecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT)

Описание: Think more meds are always the answer for IBD?

Sometimes, the solution is a “gut reboot” with healthy bacteria! Faecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT)—also known as a “poo transplant”—is an emerging therapy for ulcerative colitis and, to a lesser extent, Crohn’s disease.

FMT works by transferring processed stool from a carefully screened, healthy donor into the patient’s colon, aiming to restore a balanced gut microbiome and correct dysbiosis.

This therapy introduces a diverse mix of beneficial bacteria, which can improve gut health, strengthen the gut barrier, and reduce inflammation.

FMT is already proven for treating recurrent C. difficile infection, and research in IBD shows promising remission rates for ulcerative colitis, though results for Crohn’s disease are less consistent.

Some people respond after a single treatment, while others may need repeated infusions. Most side effects are mild, but rare risks like infection or bowel perforation mean careful donor screening is essential.

Here’s the bottom line: FMT is a promising, drug-free approach that could help reset your gut microbiome and get your IBD under control—especially if standard treatments haven’t worked.
