Stephen’s return from the medical quagmire
Stephen shared his 60-day Wheat Belly experience:
“Started Wheat Belly 60 days ago after a major health crisis. I found out I had type 2 diabetes 2 and very bad cholesterol. My numbers 60 days ago were: cholesterol 189, triglycerides 475, LDL could not be measured as it was so bad, HDL was 32. Two weeks ago: 20 pound weight loss, wearing a 15.5-inch neck size shirt compared to an 18. Triglycerides 79, LDL 25, HDL 40, cholesterol 81.
“I was first told on January 24, 2016 that my glucose level was 157. Forty five days later, my average glucose was 107 when measured by my diabetes counselor by downloading the data...

Not Just a Man’s Disease
March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, to help spread the word we are cross posting the following post. It originally ran on HuffPost Healthy Living.
Colorectal cancer is not just a man’s disease — it’s the third most common cancer in women behind lung and breast — and not just among the elderly [1]. In fact, colorectal cancer diagnoses are becoming increasingly common in individuals younger than 50 [2].
Colorectal cancer is the growth of abnormal cancerous cells in the lower part of the colon that connects the anus to the large bowel. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nea...

Brittany freed from IBS and nearly 40 lbs on Wheat Belly
Brittany shared her wonderful “before” and “after” Wheat Belly experience:
“What Wheat Belly has done for me over the last year and a half: 210 lbs/171 lbs.
“As long as I can remember, I have suffered from IBS. At 23, I had my gallbladder removed and then suffered IBS-D [irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea]. I figured out how to survive on coffee alone throughout the day to avoid clients listening to my grumbling tummy as I clipped away at hair.
“My mom turned me onto Wheat Belly. She swore it would ‘fix’ my stomach issues. She was right. I can eat! I can eat during ...

A gastroenterologist shares practical advice on probiotics
The microbiome is among the hottest topics in medical and scientific research. The National Institutes of Health and private foundations have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in research to define and characterize the human microbiome. In the next decade, billions more will be devoted to deciphering how microbes influence human health in a positive manner. The White House Office even issued a national call to action for new commitments to microbiome research from all sectors.
The implications of the microbiome are prominent in gastroenterology, my own specialty; our leading physician group, the American Gastroenter...

TBT: Which is More Uncomfortable – The Colonoscopy or Treatment for Colon Cancer?
March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month, today’s TBT post provides some helpful information on colorectal cancer.
Michelle was a healthy, active 47 year old. She tried to eat right and she exercised. It looked like the hard work was paying off: no health issues and lots of energy. Her work in the healthcare field motivated her to see her doctors regularly for checkups, to get mammograms and to have her blood work done annually. She knew she was getting close to the magical age of 50 and that soon she would need to get a colonoscopy to screen for colorectal cancer. Since she had no family history of the disease she wa...

Can I eat quinoa?
It’s a frequent question: Can I eat quinoa . . . or beans, or brown rice, or sweet potatoes?
These are, of course, non-wheat sources of carbohydrates. They lack several undesirable components found in wheat, including no:
Gliadin–Degraded to exorphins that exert mind effects and stimulate appetite to the tune of 400 additional calories per day.
Gliadin–Intact, gliadin triggers autoimmune diseases and neurologic impairment.
Amylopectin A–-The highly-digestible “complex” carbohydrate of grains that is no better–-worse, in fact–-than table sugar.
So why not eat non-wheat carbohydrates all you want? If the...

""I enjoy the fact that colorectal surgery allows you to care for patients in a broad manner. I can help someone with hemorrhoids, ameliorate symptoms of Crohn's disease or diverticulitis, or cure someone of colorectal cancer or ulcerative colitis," says dpopsmd, a colorectal surgeon on Figure 1. By sharing cases from a variety of categories, including gastroenterology and geriatrics, dpopsmd has captured the attention of our global community.

Crohns disease cured . . . by a chance encounter at the airport
I posed this question recently: Given the extravagant health successes people are experiencing by living the Wheat Belly lifestyle, are we on the dawn of an age of self-direction in health? If doctors misdiagnose/misclassify our acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, intractable constipation, migraine headaches, chronic sinusitis, asthma, depression, binge eating disorder, type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, autoimmune hepatitis, and hundreds of other conditions, which we then reverse on our own with the lifestyle changes we introduce . . . who needs the doctors?
Christine provided her perspective:

Wheat Belly: Self-Directed Health?
Director chair, film slate and load horn.
Here’s a proposal for you: If, by following the Wheat Belly lifestyle, a long list of conditions are reduced or reversed at no risk, almost no cost, reversing even chronic and potentially fatal conditions . . . does that mean that the notion of self-directed health might be on the horizon, i.e., putting control over health back in our own hands?
I think it does. No, we will never implant our own defibrillators or take out our own gallbladders. But so many chronic health conditions afflicting modern humans recede that I believe that it is entirely reasonable to start talking a...

BioSimilars: FDA Panel Overwhelming Recommends Approval of Remicade BioSimilar, Congress Asks Tough Questions of FDA and CMS
Yesterday an FDA Advisory panel overwhelmingly recommended the Celltrion/Pfizer biosimilar Remsima 21-3 for approval for all the clinical indications for Jannsen's Remicade including (RA, AS, PsA, PsO, adult CD, pediatric CD, adult UC). The discussions were straight forward outlining just how similar the two products really were.
This is only the second biosimilar to get an advisory committee. But given the FDA's staff enthusiastic analysis of the clinical program and the advisory panels whole hearted validation for all the questions before the panel we can expect to see the flow of biosimilar applications and approvals...

Med-Surg Nursing, Dr. Renee Thompson, and San Diego
For those of you deep in the heart of medical-surgical nursing, you know that skill and knowledge go hand in hand. While I have not myself spent time in the med-surg milieu, I know that nurses caring for patients in acute care med-surg environments are both specialists and generalists. For this reason, I am partnering with Renee Thompson by speaking at her upcoming 2nd Annual Medical-Surgical Nursing Symposium in beautiful San Diego.While many of you may recognize Dr. Thompson as the foremost national leader on eradicating bullying and harassment in the healthcare workplace, Renee is also a superb lecturer on a variety of ...
