Why Your Gut Symptoms Keep Coming Back (And What Everyone's Missing) | Dr. Susan Trachman
Q: How does alexithymia affect patients with gut symptoms that can't be explained medically?
Alexithymia reflects a difficulty in labeling and understanding emotions, which can impede recognizing how stress and emotional factors contribute to GI symptoms, making it harder to connect emotional states with physical symptoms and to explain these links to patients.
The Missing Piece in IBD Care: Gut Microbiome Testing with Chloe Turner
Q: Is there evidence that the microbiome affects response to biologic therapies?
Early research suggests microbiome composition may influence biologic responsiveness; optimizing the microbiome before or alongside biologics could improve outcomes, though more studies are needed.
The Missing Piece in IBD Care: Gut Microbiome Testing with Chloe Turner
Q: How can detecting pathogens like EPEC change management for Crohn's patients?
Finding a pathogen like EPEC can shift treatment toward targeted antimicrobial strategies and probiotic or dietary adjustments, potentially reversing inflammation and guiding referrals to gastroenterology when needed.
The Missing Piece in IBD Care: Gut Microbiome Testing with Chloe Turner
Q: What does a gut microbiome test show that routine colonoscopies and calprotectin tests don't?
Shotgun metagenomic sequencing reveals the full microbial ecosystem and specific bacteria and metabolites, which helps tailor diet and identify potential pathogens or dysbiotic patterns that predict inflammation risk or response to therapy.
What Your Gut Is Telling You About Parkinson's Disease — 20 Years Before Diagnosis
Q: What practical steps can listeners take today to explore a gut-informed approach?
Consult naturopathic or functional medicine practitioners with gut expertise, review blood work for metabolic and inflammatory markers, consider diet and probiotic strategies targeting the gut ecosystem, and stay open to emerging diagnostics such as microbiome-based indicators and glycocalyx-focused strategies.
