☆ What’s the Best Way to Treat I.B.S.?
  + stars: | 2024-04-18 | by ( Alice Callahan | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
Irritable bowel syndrome is one of the most common and perplexing conditions gastroenterologists treat. It affects an estimated 6 percent of people in the United States, with more women diagnosed than men, and causes symptoms so debilitating they can be hard to ignore, including abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea and constipation. Scientists don’t know exactly what causes I.B.S., and there is no cure, so the condition is often difficult to manage. But a new study, published today in the journal The Lancet Gastroenterology and Hepatology, offers clues for how best to find relief. The telltale symptoms of I.B.S.

☆ A Blood Test Shows Promise for Early Colon Cancer Detection
  + stars: | 2024-03-13 | by ( Gina Kolata | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
Early detection of colon cancer can prevent a majority of deaths from this disease, possibly as much as 73 percent of them. But just 50 to 75 percent of middle-aged and older adults who should be screened regularly are being tested. One reason, doctors say, is that the screening methods put many people off. There are two options for people of average risk: a colonoscopy every 10 years or a fecal test every one to three years, depending on the type of test. Gastroenterologists say such tests could become part of the routine blood work that doctors order when, for example, a person comes in for an annual physical exam.

☆ A fully-intact fly was found inside a man's colon during a routine colonoscopy

Doctors found a fly in the colon of a 63-year-old man during a routine colonoscopy. AdvertisementA fly found in a man's colon during a colonoscopy caused a buzz amongst his gastroenterologists. As a doctor fished a camera through the man's colon, he was shocked to discover a fully intact (but dead) fly in the middle of the man's colon. But "having such an intact fly like this is just unheard of." When doctors showed the patient pictures of the fly in his colon after the procedure, "He's like, huh, I must have eaten a fly," Bechtold said.

☆ What your poop color can say about your health
  + stars: | 2023-08-25 | by ( Kristen Rogers | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
When bilirubin and bile are secreted in the small intestine during digestion, they ultimately turn the poop brown. This physiological process is also the reason why green is the second most common poop color. Eating a lot of tomato juice, beets or red gelatin or drinking a lot of energy drinks with red dyes could make poop red, Corkins said. Usually, gastroenterologists think blood in poop is coming from lower in the colon or rectum because poop red from blood would indicate the blood hasn’t yet had time to change color. Red poop unassociated with anything you recently consumed may also come with stomach pain or fatigue.
