Summary
This study tests whether fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) capsules are safe and doable for people with auto-brewery syndrome, a rare condition where gut microbes turn carbs into alcohol. Eight adults will take antibiotics and a colon cleanse, then receive five FMT capsules over a week. They will be monitored for six months for side effects and changes in blood alcohol levels.
