History of abdominal surgery (excluding C-section, hysterectomy, cosmetic surgery, liposuction, appendectomy, cholecystectomy, ventral hernia repair, and other surgeries not pertaining to gastrointestinal problems) or history of, or recent acute gastrointestinal illness
Positive serology for HIV-1, HIV-2, HBsAg, or HCV
