Here is link to a recent study covering the dizzying complexity of trying to answer the question of whether microbiome alterations/disruptions are the cause or the result of IBD. It is now clear that there are major alterations in the microbiome, we just don't fully understand the implications and meaning of this data. It seems it is still possible the microbiome could be the sole cause if IBD as opposed to genetic mutations/heredity. Attempting to normalize the altered microbiome in IBD patients to appear more normal/healthy to improve or cure the disease is what Fecal Microbiota Transplants are all about.
