The @nationwidekids GI group (well most of us) at #DDW2025! 😃. And then getting some excellent pasta at Monzu - although nothing compares to @CarloDiLorenzo1’s better half Daniela’s homemade pasta… 🤤 . @RossMaltz @nicoledavidson_ @edcastilloleon @jsmkhoo @MuhammadKhanMD

Former @nationwidekids GI fellow @jsmkhoo w her RDBPC trial on baclofen for kids w #rumination. ➡️ Baclofen 0.5mg/kg (up to 15) div TID was well-tolerated. ➡️ Baclofen led to improvement, but not superior to placebo 🤔. She completed this during fellowship! . More to come. 😃

Dr. @juliavdzande presenting the 1st study of interrater reliability of anorectal manometry in kids at #DDW2025!. ➡️ Correlation between 10 experts was fair for RAIR, moderate for bear down. ➡️ Tells us we need clinical context - but also need to clarify criteria? 🤔

Angela Lee, @OhioStateMed M3, reviewed prokinetic response in a small but clean group of kids w #PIPO. Response variable to prokinetics studied (erythro, Augmentin, prucalopride, pyridostigmine, octreotide) but those w more generalized effect may be more effective. 🤔. #DDW2025

2nd year GI fellow & rising motilist @edcastilloleon:. In kids w refractory nausea & vomiting, baseline somatic Sx burden did not predict response to gastric #neurostimulation ⚡️ . Stim not only led to improved Sx & QOL but also transient (6mo) improved somatic Sx. #DDW2025
