Official Title: A Single-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Human Fecal Microbial Transplantation for the Therapy of Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis and Inflammatory Bowel Diseas

Brief Summary: The PediFETCh study is a pilot trial designed to assess the feasibility of fecal microbial transplants for the therapy of pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC) and pediatric inflammatory bowel disease-unclassified (IBD-U). Investigators will test the hypothesis that a protocol of twice-weekly retention enemas delivered over six weeks, using fecal transplant material from a healthy donor, will improve clinical and biological disease markers in patients with pediatric UC or IBD-U.
