Summary

This trial studies the safety and effectiveness of FMT using donor stool with low protein breakdown and Alistipes putredinis bacteria to treat PI-IBS and high protein breakdown.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with post-infection irritable bowel syndrome (PI-IBS) who experience moderate to severe symptoms. They must be able to undergo a colonoscopy and not have constipation-dominant IBS. People with recent abdominal surgery, bleeding disorders, low neutrophil count, active cancer, certain GI diseases, or those pregnant or on immune-suppressing drugs cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). Participants will receive stool from a donor with specific bacteria thought to help PI-IBS symptoms versus their own stool. The goal is to see if this can reduce protein breakdown in the gut linked to IBS.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort at the transplant site, changes in bowel habits, abdominal pain or bloating. There's also a risk of infection transmission from donor material despite screening.
