CDHFTalks: IBS and the Gut Microbiome Part 7 The benefits of psycho-social interventions for IBS
Patients with IBS can suffer psychologically due to the chronic nature of the condition. Some psycho-social interventions that can help IBS include journaling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), hypnotherapy, and meditation.
Dr. Turbide talks about these, and a summary of all treatment options available in the final part of our #CDHFTalks on IBS and the gut microbiome.

CDHF Talks IBS and the Gut Microbiome Part 6: What medications are available to treat IBS?
What medications are available to treat IBS?
It is important to find a solution that works best for you so you can find relief and enjoy the best quality of life possible despite IBS. Your healthcare provider will try to help you manage your symptoms. Recommendations generally begin with changes to lifestyle and diet. If those changes do not bring relief, over-the-counter (OTC) products or prescription medications may be prescribed.
The treatment for IBS needs to be classified into the various IBS subtypes of Diarrhea (IBS-D), Constipation (IBS-C) or Mixed (IBS-M). Dr. Turbide goes over various medications for each subtype in part 7 of our #CDHFTalks on IBS and the gut microbiome.

CDHF Talks IBS and the Gut Microbiome Part 5: Can the FODMAP diet help my IBS?
It is estimated that 50% of people with IBS may benefit from a low FODMAP diet, however, the quality of scientific evidence is very low. Of these people, there is a possible benefit for overall symptoms such as abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, excess gas, constipation and/or diarrhea.
Dr. Turbide mentions that any IBS patients who are thinking about attempting this elimination diet for themselves should do so under the guidance of a registered dietitian.
In part 5 of our #CDHFTalks with Dr Turbide, he talks all about the FODMAP diet as a treatment option for IBS.

#CDHFTALKS Part 4: IBS and the Gut Microbiome - Red flags: Alarm symptoms you should not ignore if you have IBS
For the diagnosis of IBS, it’s important to rule out red flags.
If you have symptoms of IBS and have red flags, you should discuss them with your doctor to further investigate your condition.
Some of them include:
• If older than 50 yrs, get screened for colorectal cancer (CRC). Especially if there is a family history of Crohn’s, colitis, celiac disease or CRC
• Unintentional weight loss
• Recent change in bowel habits
• Experienced during the night: diarrhea, pain
Dr. Turbide will talk about these and more in part 4 of our latest #CDHFTalks on the gut microbiome and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

CDHF Talks: IBS and the Gut Microbiome Part 3: Can your Microbiome be a cause of your IBS?
The cause of IBS is not yet known; however, there are a variety of factors that may contribute to the disorder. Through research within the microbiome, we can see that the microbiome of an IBS patient has less beneficial bacteria, larger amount of products of fermentation, and more short chain fatty acids; causing irritation, inflammation and pain.
In part 3 of our latest #CDHFTalks with Dr. Turbide, he talks all about whether your microbiome can be a cause of your IBS.

NEW #CDHFTALKS - IBS and the Gut Microbiome
We are very excited to announce our new #CDHFTalks with Dr. Turbide, Gastroenterologist at the University of Calgary – on a digestive condition that you may be familiar with – Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or IBS for short. IBS is a chronic pain disorder, that is very common within the Canadian Population.
In this series of videos, Dr. Turbide goes over all things IBS – what it is, the different types of IBS, if your microbiome can be a cause of your IBS, and tips on managing IBS. He also talks about all of the treatment options available – whether that be prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, or psycho-social interventions.
Available to viewers in both english and french, this is one you definitely don’t want to miss. Watch the full video here:

CDHF Talks Part 4: Pancreatic Health and the Microbiome: Managing Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency (PEI).
In Part 4 of our latest #CDHFTalks, Dr. Armstrong talks about
managing Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency (PEI).
You CAN manage your symptoms by making sure you follow the right diet. Your doctor will recommend foods that will help you get enough nutrients and protein that you might be missing.
Apart from a healthy diet, the main treatment for PEI is pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT). PERT is when
you take prescription pills that replace the enzymes your pancreas isn’t making. These enzymes break down your food so you can more easily digest and absorb it.
Further to this, it's important that those with PEI take vitamins. such as vitamin A, D, E, and K to replace ones that aren’t getting absorbed from your diet.

CDHF Talks Pancreatic Health Part 3: What is Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency (PEI)?
Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency (or PEI) is a condition that causes problems in how you digest food. When you have PEI, you don’t get the nutrition you need because your body can’t absorb fats and some vitamins and minerals from foods.
Dr. Armstrong dives into what PEI is in more depth, and what the consequences are in part 3 of our latest #CDHFTalks - Pancreatic Health and the Gut Microbiome.
