    How can we make the differentiation between pouchitis and cuffitis to provide the best possible care? And once we accurately identify and treat pouchitis, how can we manage surgical complications that may arise? Tune in to hear Dr. Jason Schairer from the Henry Ford Health System in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology discuss these FAQs with Dr. Neil Nandi.

    There’s been an increase in the elderly irritable bowel disease (IBD) population, and it’s estimated that a third of our overall IBD population will soon be over the age of 60. When managing and diagnosing these patients, there’s different factors to consider, like polypharmacy, biological versus chronological age, how fit these patients are versus how frail they are, and more. To take a deep dive into how IBD is affecting elderly patients, join Dr. Peter Buch as he speaks with Dr. David Hudesman, Professor of Medicine and Co-director of NYU Langone’s Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center.

    Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have an increased risk of developing infections, and some may be preventable with a vaccine. Approximately 70 percent of patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease will be on immunosuppressive therapy at some point during their treatment course, so it’s best to try to address vaccines before they’re immunosuppressed. So to walk us through some strategies for increasing the number of patients with gastrointestinal diseases who get vaccinated, Dr. Peter Buch is joined by Dr. Farraye, Co-Author of the article, titled “How to Implement a Successful Vaccination Program in Outpatient Gastroenterology Practices: A Focus on Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Chronic Liver Disease,” which appeared in Gastroenterology in 2023 and Professor of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, where he also directs the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center.

    Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is diagnosed using the ROME 4 criteria, and fortunately, most patients who meet the criteria for IBS clinically are unlikely to have another underlying explanation for their symptoms. However, a common misconception is that IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion, so to learn more about this and other controversies surrounding IBS, join Dr. Peter Buch as he speaks with Dr. Alexander Ford, Professor of Gastroenterology and Honorary Consultant of Gastroenterology at Leeds Institute of Medical Research at St. James University of Leeds.

    Many patients with lower gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding are on anticoagulants, and they may need specific reversal agents depending on what antithrombotic they’re on. Tune into this episode to learn more about the article that dives into the management and treatment of acute lower GI bleeding and the challenges along the way with Dr. Peter Buch as he speaks with Dr. David Wan, Associate Professor of Medicine at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center.

    Extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) that occur in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are almost any manifestation that occur outside the gastrointestinal tract. And patients with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis are at an increased risk for developing these manifestations. So to review EIMs in IBD and discuss the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, Dr. Peter Buch is joined by Dr. Katherine Falloon, Gastroenterologist at the Cleveland Clinic.
