We are enrolling people from the LA area for a new #IBS-D #microbiome drug trial. Breath testing is included. Even if you don't live close, retweeting can spread the word on this important study. Clicking the QR code gets you to eligibility questions and contact info.

Fatty liver has now surpassed viral liver disease as a cause of #cirrhosis now @AmCollegeGastro meeting from best of red journal.
