Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Combination with Soluble Dietary Fiber for Treatment of Slow Transit Constipation: A Pilot Study

Intestinal microbiota and soluble dietary fiber play an important role in intestinal microecology, which is closely related to gut motility.

We launched this study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FMT combined with fiber for slow transit constipation (STC).
