Abstract in brief

  • Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) can improve gut health in patients with functional constipation by increasing gut microbial diversity and promoting beneficial bacteria, which correlates with symptom relief.
  • The study found that after FMT, certain bacteria like Clostridiales increased, while others decreased, and although short chain fatty acid levels did not change overall, butyric acid levels were linked to microbial changes and clinical outcomes.
  • Additionally, FMT reduced inflammation markers such as serum IL8, suggesting it may help modulate systemic inflammation associated with intestinal dysmotility.
