Stool transplant with feeding tube nutrition for dropped stomach
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a combination of a stool transplant (washed microbiota transplantation) plus liquid nutrition through a feeding tube can help people with gastroptosis who are also malnourished. The goal is to improve stomach function and nutrition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have malnutrition (recent weight loss or low body mass index).
- You are age 18 or older and not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial tests whether “washed microbiota transplant” (a treatment using processed gut bacteria) can improve malnutrition in adults who developed it after certain upper gut surgeries. It may help by restoring helpful gut bacteria, but you must meet several medical and safety checks.
This trial studies if a special, cleaned-up version of fecal transplant (called washed microbiota transplantation) helps treat malnutrition in adults. It is for people who have already had this transplant and have either lost a significant amount of weight or have a low body mass index (BMI).
This trial tests a new way to do a fecal transplant (called washed microbiota transplantation) to help people with long-term constipation. It uses a special device to prepare the transplant, and the goal is to see how safe and effective it is.
This trial tests a new way to give a fecal transplant (called washed microbiota transplantation) to adults with long-term diarrhea. The goal is to see if it helps improve stool consistency and reduce how often you need to go to the bathroom.
This trial tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT)—transferring healthy gut bacteria from a donor to your digestive system—can help critically ill patients tolerate food and nutrition delivered through a feeding tube. The goal is to restore gut function and improve recovery in the ICU.
This study tests whether transplanting healthy donor stool into the gut can help children and young adults with ongoing digestive issues after a stem cell transplant. It may improve symptoms like diarrhea or the need for feeding tubes.
