Poop pills could stop your gut making alcohol

This early-phase trial tests whether fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) capsules are safe and feasible for people with auto-brewery syndrome (ABS), a rare condition where gut microbes turn carbs into alcohol. Eight adults with ABS will take antibiotics and a colon cleanse, then receive five doses of FMT capsules over a week. Researchers will monitor for side effects and check if the transplant changes alcohol production in the gut for up to six months.
