Abstract

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a physiological intestinal illness that is commonly accompanied with abdominal pain and changes in stool shape. Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) is a novel cure in intestinal diseases and an effective way to repopulate the gut flora. Paper will provide a comprehensive introduction to FMT and IBS, as well as a review of several studies on the value of FMT for IBS. It can be found in the studies that after short-term FMT treatment, patients' IBS-related symptoms were significantly improved, and only a few patients had minor intestinal problems such as diarrhea and constipation, and no serious intestinal disease. However, the effect of long-term treatment has not been further demonstrated, the IBS-related symptoms may recur in some patients, and the safety of long-term treatment has not been confirmed by experiments., this research examines the factors influencing FMT and the treatment's safety, as well as the potential clinical application of FMT for IBS. This will be an important topic for some time in the future, but it is certain that FMT will become one of the important treatment methods for IBS.
