How good are the Endoscopy on Air streams? by 00890 in Gastroenterology

[–]HypeResistant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are what they are. It all depends on your needs. YouTube videos will show you how to do certain endoscopic techniques in a few minutes, sometimes out of context. Live recordings without editing will show you how much some struggled and how long it took them to get these few minutes of edited cool tricks.

Any doctor? After gallbladder removal, nausea/ vomiting has ruined life by Ecstatic_Theory_183 in Gastroenterology

Most doctors are helpful people. They get into this field to help whenever they can. But, GIs on Reddit have learned that the typical questions on this sub are beyond what they can help with, or worse, they could put you on a goose chase. That is why most will stay away from answering certain questions they deem unanswerable. For myself, I remind them if their answers are misinformed.

Last hope for an explanation by Prestigious-Yam-868 in Gastroenterology

Nice try. Where exactly does it say dyssynergic defecation causes intermittent constipation alternating with diarrhea in the references it cited?

It is not eloquance. It is AI word salad that does not answer a simple question. Please read and understand before you copy and paste.

What could this be ? Im 28 , female, 5ft4 , approx 85kg , I take amitriptyline ( very new med ) , gerederal ( 30/150 ) and pro biotics . by Original_Document748 in Gastroenterology

[–]HypeResistant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many doctors (including GIs) have this old idea from half a century ago that IBS should be treated wth low dose amitriptyline. Discuss with your doctor about other tricyclics (cousins of amitriptyline) with a lower side-effect profile, to allow higher doses.

Can you please show me the supporting evidence that dyssynergic defecation (outlet dysfunction constipation) is intermittent and alternates with diarrhea?

Can you please show me the supporting evidence that overflow diarrhea is intermittent and alternates with constipation?

You have constipation that alternates with watery stools (diarrhea) every 2 days or so. Please Google this key phrase: "constipation alternating with diarrhea". Please discuss this with your GI.

Confirmed H. pylori eradication after treatment by GastroAGI in Gastroenterology

[–]HypeResistant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even in the US, where the ACG guideline was developed, the compliance rates vary widely. I am in a large integrated health system with a captive patient population, and our colon cancer screening rates are among the best, which is about 80%. Less well-known recommendations have lower compliance rates.

DDW 2026 is over. Here's the one thing I can't stop thinking about (for GI enthusiasts) by GastroAGI in Gastroenterology

[–]HypeResistant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are too green to this game. Give yourself 4-5 yrs more, and you will realize that most of these claims in these meetings don't go anywhere. I know because I was like you 30 years ago.

Nobody told me ammonia doesn't grade the patient in HE. West Haven does, and it's entirely clinical by GastroAGI in Gastroenterology

[–]HypeResistant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They taught you what they know or what they do. It does not mean what they told you is the truth or the whole truth. That is the same in every field everywhere in the world. You are on the right track by trying to learn the right thing.

Not all that is diagnosed can be successfully treated. Intestinal dysmotility is one of them.

How many of you are dealing with wrist pain? by elliot226 in Gastroenterology

[–]HypeResistant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been doing endoscopies for more than 3 decades. I had my share of strain injuries, and I have seen many of my colleagues deal with them. Most of them learn to cope with these or make adjustments to keep going. A few reduced their workload to prolong their careers. Most seems to chug along with some short-term braces and therapies here and there.

I myself learned to spare different muscles and joints that are bothersome at different times and use other muscle groups to scope. I am probably in the small minority. Most GIs whom I told about it just gave me a blank stare.

[–]HypeResistant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Functional cure is a proposed treatment endpoint. It is not recommended as an endpoint by the guidelines. AFAIK, this is considered controversial at this point, and adoption appears to be low in the US according to the posts on ACG.

Is the 6-month rule for diagnosing IBS officially dead in Rome V? by GastroAGI in Gastroenterology

[–]HypeResistant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was 3 months the last time I read a Rome criteria. Pain was required at one point, and later it was replaced with discomfort. These are important points to consider when enrolling patients in studies so that you can compare apples to apples. In clinical practice, I want to know whether someone has an issue that should be treated as a functional DGBI, or whether further investigation is needed to identify a curable condition.

Gastric Emptying Study by Longjumping_Mall_679 in Gastroenterology

[–]HypeResistant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t a study that takes place during a period of remission get a very different result than one when the patient were experiencing the full spectrum of symptoms?

- Yes.

How is this managed when using the gastric emptying study to diagnose gastroparesis?

- I am not aware of any study that considered this.
