- Bowel surgery in past 6 months prior to Screening.
- Resection of more than 50 cm of the ileum.
- Current ileostomy or colostomy.
- Ongoing or active septic complications, is hospitalized or exhibiting signs of toxicity (sepsis), has symptomatic strictures, or impending obstruction or anticipating a need for blood transfusion for gastrointestinal bleeding or in whom surgical intervention may be imminent.
- Patient with gastrointestinal abscess or perforation.

- Patient with history of colorectal cancer or colorectal dysplasia. Patients with completely resected sporadic adenomas may be enrolled.
- Patient requiring parenteral or tube feeding.
- Patient with current evidence of infectious colitis, e.g., Clostridium difficile, Amoebiasis, Giardia lamblia or stools positive for other enteric pathogens, ova or parasites at Screening.
- Female patient who is pregnant or breastfeeding or wishing to become pregnant during study participation or unwilling to use birth control.
