Instead of giving up an evening with your family to watch live, or spending a weekend at a training day, you listen to the recordings here at 1.5 times the speed and while you're commuting, exercising, or doing chores around the house. It's the same education, in a fraction of the time and without the sacrifice. New episodes are delivered twice per week, so you'll always have something interesting to listen to.

In this episode, host Michelle Odayan sits down with gastroenterologist and PhD researcher Dr. Yanna Ko to discuss a transformative paradigm shift in general practice: making a confident, positive diagnosis of IBS. Together, they unpack the brand-new Rome 5 diagnostic criteria , outline essential investigations, and map out a practical, evidence-based step-up management plan to help your patients reclaim their quality of life. Key Takeaways for Your Clinical Practice: The Rome 5 Update: Learn why abdominal discomfort has been reincluded in the diagnostic criteria after a decade, and how updated frequency thresholds restore diagnostic sensitivity. The Power of a \"Positive Diagnosis\": Discover why moving away from a \"diagnosis of exclusion\" model reduces patient anxiety and prevents costly over-investigation. Targeted Investigations: Master the core panel of baseline tests (FBC, CRP, iron studies, coeliac serology and faecal calprotectin) that rule out organic disease with high accuracy. Identifying Red Flags: Confidently spot critical alarm features, such as nocturnal symptoms, rectal bleeding, weight loss, or high-risk family history of bowel cancer, that warrant immediate colonoscopy referrals. A Step-Up Management Algorithm: Get a clear roadmap of therapies based on severity and subtype, ranging from soluble fiber and the low-FODMAP diet to antispasmodics, neuromodulators, and gut-directed hypnotherapy. What to Avoid: Understand why international guidelines strongly advise against commercial microbiome mapping and breath testing for food intolerances in routine clinical practice.
