💡 Most people living with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) are cared for by general GIs, making it important for the broader GI community to have access to the latest evidence and treatment options.

Our new joint guideline with AASLD helps clinicians navigate a changing PBC treatment landscape, from diagnosing challenging cases to deciding when to move beyond first-line therapy and when to consider a novel treatment for pruritus.

Have you heard of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) or POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome)?

People with hEDS may have flexible or unstable joints and are more likely to have POTS. Having hEDS could also be linked to digestive symptoms.

Common symptoms include:

🔹 Heartburn or reflux.
🔹 Trouble swallowing.
🔹 Nausea.
🔹 Vomiting.

People with hEDS may experience disorders of gut-brain interaction, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or indigestion.

Connect the dots between hEDS and digestive symptoms using our new patient resource: https://ow.ly/gZh150ZW21x.

This disruption — not the foods themselves — appears to drive the immune reactions patients experience. The findings point to a microbial mechanism behind a symptom pattern that affects roughly two-thirds of people with IBD.
