Brief Summary:
The investigators propose to investigate Microbiota Transfer Therapy (MTT) for treating patients with Pitt Hopkins Syndrome (PTHS) and gastrointestinal problems similar to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). MTT involves a combination of 10 days of oral vancomycin (an antibiotic to kill pathogenic bacteria), followed by a bowel cleanse, followed by 12 weeks of Fecal Microbiota (FM).
Detailed Description:
For children ages 5-17 years with PTHS and gastrointestinal problems, a Phase 2 clinical trial will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of MTT.
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-Controlled Treatment (14 weeks)
The trial will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial which will include a 10-day treatment with oral vancomycin (or placebo), then 1 day of magnesium citrate to cleanse the bowel of vancomycin and bacteria/feces (all participants, since its bowel-emptying effect cannot be blinded), followed by oral administration of FM (or placebo). An initial high dose of FM (or placebo) for two days will be followed by a lower maintenance dose of FM (or placebo) for 12 weeks.
Group A: real treatment Group B: placebo vancomycin, real magnesium citrate, placebo FM
