The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) for treating patients with mild to moderate Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Even with the expanding choices of medication for UC, physicians and patients are still in search of highly effective and safe medications with minimal side effects. FMT has been approved for the treatment of a bacterial infection called Clostridium difficile. In this setting, FMT has been proven to be an effective and safe alternative therapy with zero reported serious adverse events from patients that have had this treatment.
The providers that are conducting this study hypothesize that delivering microbes from a healthy human gut can help treat the damages caused by UC. This is done by "transplanting" fecal material, which contains a highly complex and dense community of healthy microbes, including bacteria, fungi and viruses. This collection of microbes is referred to as a microbiome. Preliminary studies suggest that alteration of the microbiome can help treat UC.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in metagenomic sequencing in Stool samples after FMT treatment | Trace the effect FMT therapy has on microbiome diversity and to track whether this effect is sustained during and after therapy via metagenomic sequencing of stool samples at time 0, and weeks 6, 12, and 18. | After 6, 12, and 18 Weeks |

| Asses changes in T-cell measures and serotonin signaling in mucosal biopsy samples and peripheral blood samples | Explore potential therapeutic mechanisms of FMT therapy. Changes in the host immune response before and after treatment will be assessed via measurement of both mucosal and peripheral T-cells populations (Th1, Th2, Th17) using mucosal biopsies and blood samples respectively.Changes in mucosal serotonin signaling will be measured using mucosal biopsies. |
