IBS patients are diagnosed young and stay on medication for years.
Our study shows antidepressants and mu receptor agonists are associated with high risk of mortality in IBS patients while other commonly used medications are not.

Clinical trial finds novel nutritional formula effectively treats gut microbial overgrowth Cedars-Sinai researchers have developed a novel nutritional formula, mBiota Elemental, a palatable elemental diet (PED) that reduces the abundance of key gut microbiome taxa and improves symptoms in patients with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO).

A novel palatable elemental diet significantly reduced gut microbial overgrowth and improved symptoms in adults with SIBO and IMO, with high adherence and no serious adverse events reported. doi.org/g9gbwn

A specialized diet with flavor improvement can improve gut disorders A new study from Cedars-Sinai has examined whether a specialized diet could improve symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders linked to an imbalance in gut microbiota.

A palatable version of the elemental diet may improve adherence and alleviate symptoms in individuals with gut disorders like SIBO and IMO by reducing unfavorable gut microbes.

The first prospective trial of a palatable elemental diet shows symptom improvement, microbiome changes, and full adherence in patients with SIBO and IMO. http://ms.spr.ly/63326qAucy

April is IBS Awareness Month. Let’s move beyond the myths and bring science and empathy together.

IBS is a complex, organically-rooted condition and is not "all in your head".

It’s time for a new narrative.

Honored to present at the University of Michigan GI Grand Rounds today, sharing updates on microbial overgrowth. Excited to discuss lots of new data on SIBO and IMO!

Smoke-free skies over LA, from Brentwood to Marina del Rey—huge thanks to our @lafd.bsky.social heroes! The air is so clear I can see the silhouette of Santa Barbara Island, 55 miles away!
