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 study tests whether giving patients a special preparation of healthy donor stool (called fecal microbiota transplantation) can help with feeding intolerance, which is when the gut cannot handle food or nutrition given through a tube. If this works, it may improve nutrition and recovery for critically ill patients in the intensive care unit.
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.
This trial studies fecal microbiota transplantation (a stool-based treatment) to improve symptoms and safety in people with certain gut and immune conditions. It aims to see whether changing gut bacteria can help you feel better.
This study tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT), which introduces healthy gut bacteria from a donor, can improve eating disorder symptoms and digestive issues in people with anorexia nervosa. It may help by balancing the gut microbiome, which could affect mood and appetite.
