Slicing up the IBS Pie to Find Real and Lasting Relief 23:14

25 days ago23:14

23:14

IBS is frequently referred to as a diagnosis of exclusion: your doctor can’t find anything else wrong; therefore, it must be IBS. But if you slice up the IBS pie and take a good look, you actually find lots of potential explanations for what might be causing your symptoms. In this episode I go through over 30 different causes of IBS symptoms . These are conditions that we see frequently in a gastroenterology practice that should definitely be on the list when somebody is complaining of abdominal pain or a change in their bowel habits. But in order to correctly diagnose these conditions, you have to be thinking beyond an umbrella diagnosis of “IBS”. You have to actually be interested in finding out what is causing the symptoms.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome - and Pharmaceutical Expediency 17:51

5 weeks ago17:51

17:51

Encouraging physicians to make a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome and prescribe medication for it is big business. I'm not saying that medication for IBS is never a good idea or never effective, but I am saying that it is often an overly expedient solution that doesn’t usually lead to lasting relief for the simple reason that IBS consists of multiple different conditions. Since there is no one unifying diagnosis of "IBS" there can't be one unifying pharmaceutical solution. We'd love to hear from you - send us a text! Thank you for being a part of our community!

This week's episode is another example of why you should reject a blanket diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome, and ask your doctor to roll their sleeves up and help you uncover the root cause of your symptoms. The solution for everyone who's diagnosed with IBS is not always a diet change. But it should never just be "your bowel is irritable and here’s a drug". We'd love to hear from you - send us a text!

Aerophagia: Could Air Swallowing be the Cause of Your Bloating? 10:55

10 weeks ago10:55

10:55

In this episode we dive into the causes and treatment for aerophagia - one of the most unrecognized factors behind burping and bloating. Aerophagia is a condition where people swallow large amounts of air unintentionally and without realizing it. It’s often misdiagnosed as acid reflux , ulcers, gallstones , or SIBO – small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. I frequently see patients who have been put on acid blockers or treated for ulcers that they don't have, or sometimes even had their gallbladder removed, and they're still not better. And that's because their aerophagia has not been diagnosed. We'd love to hear from you - send us a text! Thank you for being a part of our community!

GLP-1 Drugs: Making an Informed Decision 25:35

15 weeks ago25:35

25:35

On today's show, we're going to dive into the topic of GLP-1 agonists, a class of medications that stimulates your pancreas to produce more insulin, slows down digestion, and promotes feelings of fullness. The benefits are that it can help lower your blood sugar level, it can lead to weight loss, and it may reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in people with type 2 diabetes. But judicious use is essential because these drugs have serious GI side effects and an increased risk of cancer, so it's important to make sure that your decision to take them is well-informed and that you're making it with eyes wide open.

More than 60 million Americans experience heartburn on a regular basis, but the recommended treatment does nothing to address the root cause - and totally messes up your digestion. The most important thing that I want you to know is that acid reflux has absolutely nothing to do with overproduction of acid. These symptoms are caused by inappropriate opening of the lower esophageal sphincter, and on today's show, I'm going to tell you about the three most common factors that cause that lower esophageal sphincter to open, and how to treat them without blocking stomach acid.
