Could a poop transplant ease debilitating diarrhea?

This small pilot study is testing whether a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT), which transfers healthy gut bacteria from a donor, is safe and can help reduce chronic diarrhea in people with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). Twenty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the real FMT treatment or a placebo, and researchers will track side effects and changes in bowel symptoms. The main goal is to check safety and see if this approach shows promise for easing this difficult symptom.
