Inflammatory Bowel Disease Series: Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Special Populations: The Elderly, Obese and LGBTQ Patient
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.
Guests: Amanda M. Johnson, M.D., and Victor G. Chedid, M.D., M.S.
This podcast continues our series on inflammatory bowel disease. The topic is important and timely: “Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Special Populations: The Elderly, the Obese and the LGBTQ Patient.” It’s critical that we broaden our perspective in addressing the unique challenges faced by these often-unrecognized population groups. How common is the presentation of inflammatory bowel disease in those over 65? How does age affect the treatments commonly used? Does obesity alter the disease presentation or activity and what are some of the unique challenges our LGBTQ patients face with inflammatory bowel disease? These are just some of the questions I’ll be asking my guests, Amanda M. Johnson, M.D., and Victor G. Chedid, M.D., M.S., both gastroenterologists at the Mayo Clinic.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease Series: Health Maintenance in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.
Guest: Konstantinos A. Papadakis, M.D.
Due to the complexity and new pharmacologic options for the management of inflammatory bowel disease, patients often have their care provided by a gastroenterologist. They may not see their primary care provider as often as in the past and some of their preventive health maintenance may not get performed. Are patients receiving primarily specialty care still receiving good health maintenance? Are we aware that patients with inflammatory bowel disease have some unique needs regarding their preventive health maintenance and some of the recommendations are different than the general population? These are questions I’ll be asking my guest, gastroenterologist Konstantinos A. Papadakis, M.D., from the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Health Maintenance in Inflammatory Bowel Disease” as part of our ongoing series on Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease Series: Pouchitis
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.
Guests: Darrell S. Pardi, M.D., and Laura E. Raffals, M.D.
Pouchitis is a relatively common complication in patients who have ulcerative colitis and have had a proctocolectomy with an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. It represents inflammation of the ileal pouch and symptoms may include increased stool frequency, cramps, fecal urgency and occasionally bloody stools. The diagnosis is usually suspected from clinical symptoms and confirmed with endoscopy. Are there risk factors for the development of pouchitis? Is an endoscopy necessary for a diagnosis? How should patients be treated and how effective is treatment? These are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guests, Darrell S. Pardi, M.D., and Laura E. Raffals, M.D., both gastroenterologists at the Mayo Clinic. We’ll be discussing “Pouchitis” as part of our podcast series on “Inflammatory Bowel Disease”.

Guests: Darrell S. Pardi, M.D., and Laura E. Raffals, M.D.
Microscopic colitis is one of the lesser-known members of the inflammatory bowel disease family. Symptoms include chronic, frequent diarrhea and fecal urgency. It’s usually suspected from the patient’s clinical symptoms and diagnosis is established by colonoscopy with biopsy. Biopsy is necessary as the colonic mucosa appears normal at endoscopy. A specific cause isn’t known but it can be associated with several medications. Although it’s not typically a life-threatening condition, it can lead to weight loss and potentially dehydration. How does microscopic colitis differ from ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s Disease? Who’s at risk of developing it? Since these patients usually present to primary care providers, when should we suspect it? How is it managed, and can it be cured? These are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guests, Darrell S. Pardi, M.D., and Laura E. Raffals, M.D., both gastroenterologists at the Mayo Clinic. We’ll be discussing “Microscopic Colitis” as part of our ongoing series of podcasts on “Inflammatory Bowel Disease”.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease Series: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and its Treatment
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.
Guest: Edward V. Loftus JR, M.D.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease is somewhat of an umbrella term for a group of chronic inflammatory conditions of the GI tract. The most common types include ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s Disease. While there are similarities between the two, there are also differences. For many individuals with inflammatory bowel disease, it’s only a mild illness. Unfortunately for some, it can lead to severe disability and potentially life-threatening complications. What are the similarities and differences between ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s? When should we suspect a patient has an inflammatory bowel disease? What’s the best way to establish a diagnosis and finally, what treatment options do we have? These are just some of the questions I’ll be asking my guest, Edward V. Loftus JR, M.D., from the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Its Treatment”.
