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

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests whether transferring healthy bacteria from donor stool into the gut can improve stomach problems and autism symptoms in children. It is for children ages 3 to 6 who have autism and ongoing digestive issues like diarrhea, belly pain, or constipation.
This study tests whether transferring gut bacteria from a healthy donor to a participant can reduce irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms related to food sensitivity. You may be asked to follow a low-FODMAP diet and receive a fecal microbiota transplant if you meet the study’s safety and health requirements.
This trial tests whether taking capsules made from stool donors’ “good gut bacteria” can improve moderate, active ulcerative colitis in children. You might join if your child has symptoms despite stable usual treatments, and can safely take the study capsules.
This trial tests whether transferring stool microbes (called fecal microbiota transplantation, or FMT) can improve Crohn’s disease in children who have not gotten better with usual treatments. If you qualify, the study will check symptoms and colon imaging/score changes over the study follow-up.
