News on the aetiology of achalasia and Sheffield changes its mind on Coeliac !

Listen Later

Today we are reporting on the 'FLIP device' and give you an update on the likely aetiology of achalasia. 

There have been studies on 'motorised spiral enteroscopy'. Is a motor really a good thing inside the small bowel? 

We are surprised to see a complete turnaround in the recommendations from Sheffield on how to diagnose Coeliac disease ! 

Sadly, surveillance in patients with MUTyH related polyposis doesn't seem to save lives. 

Should we all start doing 'full thickness' colonic resections?  I urge caution!  

Finally, there have been some good news and some bad news on the topic of emergency GI bleeding ...
