Summary

This study tested whether taking fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) capsules could help prevent Crohn's disease from returning after surgery. 23 adults who had surgery for Crohn's received FMT either by capsules or colonoscopy. The goal was to see if the capsules could deliver helpful gut bacteria as effectively as the colonoscopy method.
