Many factors are involved in the pathogenesis: genetic, environment, nutrition, immunity and intestinal dysbiosis. In the present work, we review the most important trigger mechanisms involved in IBD, with a particular regard to the role of microbiota and fecal mass transplantation as a new therapeutic approach, that even if it can be considered safe and effective, data are necessary regarding all procedures not yet standardized and timing of treatment. %K Inflammatory Bowel Desease %K Fecal Mass Transplantation %K Nutrition and Macrobiota %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=60642
