Welcome to another Episode of Talking Gut, where I get to interview leading specialists in the area of gastroenterology and related systems.

Living and working in Melbourne Australia, I am very fortunate to know and work alongside many amazing Gastroenterologists. Leaders in their field. I am very fortunate to know and today interview, Prof peter Gibson. To those who might not know, Prof Gibson was the gastroenterologist who created, or as he might say, oversaw the development of the Low FODMAP diet.

Just some background, Peter is the current director of gastroenterology and hepatology at The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne Australia, recipient of multiple awards and grants and has authored and co-authored multiple books, book chapters and research articles.

 

In this talk, we discussed everything from his background and how he got into gastroenterology, early influences and what factors lead to focus on looking at diet for GI disorders. We talked in great detail about how to Low FODMAP diet was created, its appropriateness, contraindications, and how it should be utilised, even in Children. We also talked about bloating, and there is some interesting information in there about bloating.

Peter is also a big advocate of the psychological therapies, especially Gut Directed Hypnotherapy. We also talked fibre and about non-coeliac gluten hypersensitivity, diet and inflammatory bowel disease and a lot more. Over 90 minutes of valuable information. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Prof Peter Gibson.

Welcome to another Episode of Talking Gut, where I get to interview leading specialists in the area of gastroenterology and related systems.

In today's episode I had the honour to interview the Worlds leading expert on Esophageal Disorders, Prof John Pandalfino.

Prof Pandolfino is a Hans Popper Professor of Medicine and chief of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at  Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and was also the director at the Esophageal Center at Northwestern Medicine between 2011-2015. His CV is 27 pages way too long to cover in this introduction, but lets just say, he has multiple hospital and administrative appointments, is recipients of multiple grants and awards, Editor in chief for highly regarded Gastroenterology journals and is himself author and co-author of books, book chapters and over 200 research articles.

He’s also a really nice down to earth guy. If there is anything you want to know about Esophageal Disorders, Prof Pandolfino is the person to speak to.

 

  • Gastroesophageal Reflux Disorder or GERD, and both Esophageal and extra-esophageal syndromes. Diagnosis of GERD and how to treat it.
  • We talked about his unique way of treating GERD via his GERD Precision Texas Holdem approach.
  • We also covered other areas, including
  • Functional Heart Burn
  • The link between Gastrointestinal transit and Reflux
  • We talked about belching or burping
  • We talked about rumination
  • We also talked about eosinophilic esophagitis and a whole lot more.

This talk provides a wealth of information for medical and allied health professionals and well as the interested general public.

I hope you enjoy my talk with Prof John Pandolfino.
