Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a 3D-printed ingestible pill designed to sample microbiota from the GI tract, focusing on the ability to collect data also from the small intestine. The study also aims to assess ease of use and transit time.
Detailed Description:
This is a prospective, open-label pilot study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a 3D-printed ingestible pill for microbiome sampling throughout the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, with a specific advantage in being able to sample bacteria from the small intestine. The study will enroll 10 participants, each ingesting the pill. Participants will use a metal detection device to identify the pill in their stool. Upon detection, participants will collect the stool sample and send it to the lab, where the pill will be extracted. Both the pill and stool samples will undergo 16S rRNA sequencing to profile the microbiome. The study will take approximately 4 days per participant
