Optimising triage for suspected #IBD referrals by Peter Rimmer & colleagues - bit.ly/3vinWaB Mark Beattie BSG BSG Trainees James Kennedy Philip Dunne Vivek Goodoory Gio McGinty Rex Wan-Hin Hui Mohsen Subhani

🆕 Patients with suspected inflammatory bowel disease (#IBD) could benefit from better testing protocols that would speed up diagnosis, reducing the need and lengthy wait for potentially unnecessary colonoscopies. Read more about this BRC study: birminghambrc.nihr.ac.uk/disease-testin…

Our new study, published in Journal of Crohn's and Colitis, investigates the mechanisms of action of oral vancomycin in PSC-IBD. Induction of clinical remission was associated with changes in gut microbiome and bile acid metabolism. Thanks to Y-ECCO grant, patients, and collaborators.

"The Usual Suspects" 🕵️‍♂️🔍 – diagnostic delays in IBD could mean worse outcomes! Take a look at this study in Frontline Gastro exploring how to optimise triage of suspected referrals - fg.bmj.com/content/15/4/2… Findings: • Symptoms like blood in stools and weight loss are strong

What is the gut microbiome? How can changing it help treat inflammatory bowel disease? This is the fascinating topic of our next online research talk with Dr Peter Rimmer (University Hospitals Birmingham). 🗓️15 May, 6-7pm Register to join - no science knowledge needed! eventbrite.com/e/from-gut-bug…
