How do we stay on top of vaccinating our patients? Find a vaccination champion! 🏅

Having #IBD (or even being on biologics) does not increase the risk of severe #COVID19, but being on STEROIDS, being older, or having additional comorbidities do.

Most patients with #IBD successfully make antibodies in response to #COVID19 vaccination

@YaleMed

I gave a talk on inpatient bowel regimens today for the @YaleMed @YaleIMed residents and students, with additional 💎s on outpatient #constipation. Here are the slides!

Diet, gas, and the #microbiome 💨

#MedTwitter #GITwitter #diet #nutrition #IBS #SIBO

sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

💨The gut microbiota generates ~0.2L–1.5L of gas per day
💨>99%: hydrogen (H2), carbon dioxide (CO2), & methane (CH4)– *odorless*
💨foul smell of gas from <1%: sulfur–containing gases hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methanethiol (CH3SH), dimethyl sulfide [(CH3)2S] + volatile compounds

🦠bacteria in the colon ferment substrates that are not digested or absorbed in the upper GI tract (e.g. carbohydrates, proteins, fats)
🦠produce short-chain fatty acids, branched-chain fatty acids, ammonia, N-nitro compounds, phenolic and indolic compounds, and various gases
