Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of a novel gut microbiota-targeted therapeutic regimen (bowel lavage and antibiotics with or without an antifungal) in the management of active Crohn's Disease (CD) or indeterminate colitis (IBDU) that is refractory to conventional, immunosuppressive therapy. In addition, the study will determine the effect of PEG lavage alone on fecal calprotectin and gut microbiota in patients who are undergoing a PEG lavage for clinical care.
