I had a wonderful time last week in Denver, Colorado catching up with other pediatric GI faculty (some I have known for over 2 decades) while teaching pediatric gastroenterologists-in-training from Mexico, the United States, and Canada. It was a great NASPGHAN teaching conference. Our pediatric gastroenterology fellows who will be future faculty across North America are inspiring and innovative! #medicine #gastroenterology

I just did this book review for Practical Gastroenterology. In a world of really bad books about diet and mindfulness as treatment for irritable bowel syndrome, this book is very excellent. It is based on science, has good and reasonable advice for patients, and avoids pseudo-science. I have been recommending it for patients and their families. #gastroenterology #medicine.

"Using genetics as a starting point, we've uncovered a pathway that appears to play a major role in IBD and other inflammatory diseases. Excitingly, we've shown that this can be targeted therapeutically, and we're now working on how to ensure this approach is safe and effective for treating people in the future," said Dr James Lee.
