#Trauma and GI health are linked. It’s important for clinicians to consider a patients past when determining optimal care plans for the future @KewinSiah @DrJagielski @DrvanTilburg @DrKinsinger @IrisWangMD @DrMadisonSimons @IBS_Maastricht @drjshapiro @Rajan___Singh
Childhood trauma doesn’t just shape the mind—it leaves a mark on gut health. Our study in Clinical Gastroenterology & Hepatology shows that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) double the risk of IBS, with anxiety acting as a mediator. #GITwitter #MedTwitter #IBS @AGA_CGH

Nice study from Dr. Irene Sonu, @SeanPaulSpencer and others from Stanford. This shows using wireless capsule that intestinal methanogen overgrowth (#IMO) is associated with delayed small bowel and colonic transit (AKA #constipation).

There's a significant gender gap in publications. Only 20% of GI RCTs have a female last author - in case of high impact journals, the number is a mere 16%, with no change between 2011 and 2022. Time for a change #HeforShe 👊 @AmCollegeGastro @AmJGastro

📢🔥New study reveals not all #FODMAPs are created equal! Fructans & galacto-oligosaccharides are the main culprits behind IBS symptoms. Targeted restriction may be the key to effective management. Read more: #Gitwitter #GiFellow #IBS #GutHealth 👉 https://t.co/mafiDz7Mpz

😣Feeling stressed and anxious about bloating? You’re not alone! 🧠There appears to be a major role of the Brain-Gut Axis: hypersensitivity, hypervigilance and cognitions 🧐More research is needed to improve our bloating treatments @DrSarahBallou #DDW2024 #GastroPsych
