Summary

This early study tested whether giving people with Crohn's disease a fecal transplant (FMT) after surgery could help prevent the disease from coming back. 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.
