  • The answer to most digestive ailments today results from poor choices in our diet, chronic stress and alterations in the microbiome or gut bacteria. Medical research has drastically changed our understanding of many G.I. diseases. Stomach ulcers are no known to be caused by an infection with H. pylori bacteria. So successful eradication of the infection prevents stomach ulcers from recurring. Bleeding ulcers and esophageal ulceration from acid reflux is rarely seen now with a very potent proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole. On the other hand autoimmune disease of the bowel such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis is on the increase although biologic agents are now able to alter the disease course so that the overall prognosis is better in these patients. Irritable bowel syndrome is more often diagnosed and its treatment leaves much to be desired. Screening colonoscopy has decreased the death rate from colon cancer. We also have a better understanding of anorectal disease and it's management. I am a professor of Medicine and have been practicing for over 30 years and offer my insights into our digestive wellbeing.

  • Stress and Gastrointestinal disease

    Stress and Gastrointestinal disease
    2024/07/09

    There is increasing evidence that stress plays a significant role in how we receive our symptoms, and in fact can lead to development of disease. There is increasing evidence that the brain gut axis allows two way communication between the brain and the gut. This, along with our increasing knowledge of the role of the Microbiome, to maintain health, and our diet form complex connections that keep us healthy or not. In this podcast, I speak with an experienced psychologist who specializes in gut health, and it's a relation to chronic stress.

In December 2021, Dr. Hotez led efforts at the Texas Children’s Center for Vaccine Development to develop a low-cost recombinant protein COVID vaccine for global health, resulting in emergency use authorization in India.Dr. Hotez has authored more than 600 original papers and is the author of five single-author books, including Forgotten People, Forgotten Diseases (ASM Press); Blue Marble Health: An Innovative Plan to Fight Diseases of the Poor amid Wealth (Johns Hopkins University Press); Vaccines Did Not Cause Rachel’s Autism (Johns Hopkins University Press); and Preventing the Next Pandemic: Vaccine Diplomacy in a Time of Anti-science (Johns Hopkins University Press).Dr. Hotez served previously as President of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene and he is founding Editor-in-Chief of PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases.

  • Anorectal Health: Stuff you may be itching to know!

    Anorectal Health: Stuff you may be itching to know!
    2023/09/07

    Anal rectal disease symptoms are often ignored by patients who may just live with them and by physicians who may not be terribly well trained in this area. Anorectal disease is very common and includes diagnoses such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures or tears, itching which can be severe or persistent, rectal bleeding, anal warts and even anal cancer which is not the same as colon cancer. Autoimmune disease such as crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis may present in the anorectum. Rectal bleeding or blood on wiping after a bowel movement could be a symptom of something more serious such as colon cancer which is quite common and often incurable once it's advanced. I hope that this podcast shines some light on questions you may have any certainly useful information. This is Waqar Qureshi, MD, FRCP, FASGE, FACG and Professor of Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas
