Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in patients with Functional Bowel Disorder (FBD) with psychiatric co-moribidity.  After obtaining written informed consent standard guidelines to include patients will be followed. Patient will be given 200-300mL of processed fecal microbiota via endoscopic or colonoscopic route. Fecal microbiota will be given 3 times at an interval of 15 days for a particular subject. 
Comparator Agent  Healthy control group  After obtaining written informed consent healthy person will be included to donate their stool for gut microbiota analysis. Comparison between the gut-microbiota of Healthy controls and patients will be done.

Brief Summary  

Some evidence exists that Faecal Microbiota transplantation (FMT) can improve symptoms in patients with Functional Bowel Disorder (FBD) and may have some beneficial effects in patients with depression and anxiety. To the best of our knowledge, no study has investigated the effects of FMT on both enteric and psychiatric symptoms in patients with FBD and psychiatric comorbidity. 

Objectives- 1. To compare the pattern of gut microbiota between FBD patients with psychiatric illness and that of healthy controls. 2. To develop a Faecal Microbiota Storage and Transplantation facility and conduct transplantation from healthy controls to FBD patients with psychiatric illness. 3. To assess whether FMT from healthy donors can alleviate the enteric and psychiatric symptoms of FBD patients with psychiatric illness. 4. To determine the temporal and constitutional dynamics of the transplanted microbiota in the recipient’s gut under various conditions. 

Methodology- 1. We shall utilise state-of-the-art shotgun sequencing-based faecal metagenomics for assessing gut microbiota of the cases, controls and healthy donors at the baseline. 2. We shall conduct a pilot randomised controlled trial for our objectives 2 and 3 and follow up with our participants for one year. 

Expected Outcomes among patients of FBD with psychiatric comorbidity after FMT- 1. Significant and sustained improvement of symptoms related to FBD and psychiatric conditions. 2. Significant and sustained modulation of Gut Microbiome composition. 3. The study will contribute to the knowledge base on the gut-brain-microbiome axis and the potential therapeutic use of FMT in patients with FBD and psychiatric comorbidity.
