Gastroenterologist Dr. Justin Crocker from Duke University is here to tell you everything you need to know about Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). We discuss what signs and symptoms doctors are looking for to diagnose this chronic condition and how medication advances have broadened the scope of treatment for patients to manage IBD flare ups. This episode is brought to you by the American College of Gastroenterology's Patient Care Committee.

Previous Episode

Registered Dietitian Beth Rosen is joined by one of her patients, Addison, who shares her unique experience with gastroparesis, which was spurred by an eating disorder. Gastroparesis is a serious condition that affects the normal spontaneous movement of the muscles (motility) in the stomach. Beth emphasizes that not everyone with gastroparesis has an eating disorder, but in Addison’s case, her eating disorder contributed to the motility issues and symptoms often associated with gastroparesis. Addison explains how her condition evolved over her childhood and how, with Beth's guidance and care, she was able to overcome her fear of eating, and today has a much healthier relationship with food.

Gastroparesis is a debilitating digestive condition that medical experts are learning more and more about each year. That's why The American College of Gastroenterology recently updated it's clinical guideline for Gastroparesis. Joining us are co-authors of the guideline, leading Gastroenterologists Dr. Linda Nguyen and Dr. Michael Camilleri to give us a deeper understanding of what the updates mean for patients and providers, how they and their fellow co-authors arrived at these clinical updates, and why they're optimistic about further studies that they hope will lead to better treatment options for patients.
