#Obesity is a chronic disease. But have you ever asked someone what they go through to get help for managing this disease?? Patient resources to support weight loss (anti-obesity medications, non-surgical procedures, EVEN dietician visits) are OFTEN limited! #EndObesityStigma

I am so fortunate to have a great partner helping to build #WholePersonCare @CleClinicMD! Listen to @DrMadisonSimons on Butts&Gutts as she discusses treatment options for GI problems.
I'm grateful to join @ScottRSteeleMD on Butts & Guts this week to discuss the psychological challenges that patients with GI disorders often experience. Listen to learn about treatment options that may help those with motility disorders. cle.clinic/3xpjLea @RomeGastroPsych

Interdisciplinary collaboration between GYN GI @ClevelandClinic has actually led to more efficient diagnostics on both sides. With guidance from our gastroenterologists, we have gynecologists placing orders for GES and ARM when indicated to get pts where they need to go sooner.

I get asked what is better, a GI SW or GI psychologist? The answer is BOTH! We have different skills that complement each other.A multidisciplinary team is what produces best outcomes. Tiered treatment helps access to best practices! #WholePersonCare #TeamBasedCare #GIpsych

I was reminded by one of my physical therapist colleagues about the crucial role they play in whole-person care. Physical therapists are part of the team, working with patients to ensure the proper functioning of pelvic floor muscles and movement! lnkd.in/eyYVp3Ts

Replying to @oridamas
@oridamas at @CedasSinai #IBDDIET dispelling nutrition myths in IBD. Most important lesson is to share the existing evidence but never blame the patient. Take into account food availability and insecurity-patients are doing the best they can.

Below aref three of the most popular tricyclic #neuromodulators. Knowing the benefits and drawbacks of each is critical for prescribing the right treatment. Also see our recent publication with more detail: Hanna and Drossman AJG doi.org/10.14309/ajg.0000000… #DGBI @CarlKayMD
Neuromodulator (TCA) Comparison ▪️Amitriptyline ▪️Nortriptyline ▪️Desipramine For diarrhea-predom symptoms insomnia, use pharmacological effects to your advantage! Amitriptyline has nice niche. Histaminergic (sedation) and anticholinergic (constipation) treat IBS-D ✅💩💤
