For years, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been hailed as a medical miracle for treating recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections—restoring balance to the gut where antibiotics failed. But now, scientists and clinicians are beginning to unlock a broader, less-explored frontier: FMT's potential to influence a wide spectrum of diseases beyond gut-related infections.
From autoimmune conditions and metabolic disorders to neurological diseases and even mental health, FMT is emerging as a promising, though controversial, tool in modern medicine. This article dives deep into how FMT works, its expanding applications, and what the future might hold for one of medicine’s most unorthodox but groundbreaking therapies.
