Fecal transplant for anorexia nervosa
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking fecal microbiome transplant (FMT) capsules can help people with anorexia nervosa. FMT uses processed stool from healthy donors to improve gut bacteria, which might support weight restoration and overall health.
