As we approach the holidays and end of 2024, I speak for myself, my team, and most importantly our patients. Thank you for the support! We have found new treatments for the #microbiome. Stay tuned for more news in 2025! 😉

A big deal for patients with #IBS. CdtB toxin is shown here to produce changes in gut #microbiome similar to humans with increased small bowel E. coli (hydrogen producer) and Desulfovibrio (H2S producer). This model will help develop new drugs for #IBS. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Article published today in AJG by @jasmohanbajaj.bsky.social and I suggest that hepatic encephalopathy is a true DGBI (although not listed as one). Much more evidence than for gastroparesis...just saying. journals.lww.com/ajg/fulltext...

This is the second busiest time of year for @mastprogram.bsky.social as we prepare to submit abstracts for DDW. But it's also the most exciting. New data everyday for the next two weeks. So many new discoveries that will help patients with #microbiome, #SIBO, #ISO and #IMO, and metabolic disorders.

This morning as an example. When the going gets tough...drink a coffee.

Gave a presentation and answered questions from 300 people with #IBS/#SIBO. It was sad to hear that patients are still being dismissed. Glad I could be a resource on the latest science.

As we study the #microbiome of the small intestine, we are finding single organisms causing disease. This is why the small intestine is so important to study. Stay tuned for more.
