Testing poop-based therapy for kids with SIBO
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This early study tests whether fecal microbiota transplant (a stool donation placed into the gut) is safe and practical for children with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). It may help reduce SIBO symptoms, but the main goal is to see if the treatment and study steps work well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 3 and 18 years old
- Your SIBO diagnosis must come from a lactose breath test (LBT)
- You should still have SIBO symptoms
- You must stop antibiotics for at least 1 week before the transplant
- From now until Week 8, you generally can’t start new gut treatments unless your clinician says it’s necessary

This study tests whether transplanting healthy donor stool (fecal microbiota) into the gut can help improve autism symptoms and digestive problems in young children. It's a new approach that might ease both stomach issues and behavioral symptoms.
This trial studies whether transferring healthy stool bacteria into the gut (fecal microbiota transplantation, or FMT) can improve symptoms in children with ulcerative colitis. It may help by changing gut bacteria, especially for children who are newly diagnosed or who didn’t respond to standard treatments.
This trial studies fecal microbiota transplantation, which is transferring stool bacteria from a healthy donor to help rebalance gut microbes. If you have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) that hasn’t improved after several standard treatments, this study may see whether it reduces your symptoms and is safe.
This study tests whether transplanting healthy bacteria into the gut (called fecal microbiota transplantation) can improve digestive symptoms and autism-related behaviors in children. If your child has autism and ongoing digestive issues, this treatment may help.
This trial compares two treatments for SIBO, a condition that causes bloating and diarrhea due to too much bacteria in the small intestine. One treatment is a probiotic (a beneficial yeast) and the other is an antibiotic. The goal is to see which one works better.
This trial tests whether a fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), which transfers healthy bacteria from a donor into your gut, can reduce severe irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms. FMT is being studied as a possible new treatment for people with IBS that hasn't improved with other treatments.
