We are extending our pilot to study key factors about endoscopic sampling of the microbiome. These include sampling site, method and the "bowel preparation" typically done before endoscopy. To achieve this we will perform two separate procedures on a small number of IBD patients: one without standard bowel preparation, and another follow-up, with prep, a few days later.
