Now in press at @AGA_CGH promising results PCB trial of curcumin-QingDai (CurQD) botanical combo. Shown to be a unique AhR agonist which was effective for active UC pts, half of whom IMM/biologics exprienced. my COI of note. @AmerGastroAssn #nutrition

Great #Sheba team visit to @IBDCedarsSinai to discuss our joint pre-habilitation project to improve IBD surgery outcomes (& also cook 325 meals for ppl in need in LA...).
Also honor to give Grand rounds on harnessing ☘️botanicals to augment IBD meds, with #CurQD as example.

Elegant RCT on a practical question. With open label design & n=56 limitations, alternate day oral iron in inactive UC was as effective as once daily. Intolerance was also comparable.
So unlike in non-IBD pts, no clear benefit one way or another, but what would pts prefer ?

Our RCT in @iScience_CP:
Alternate-day vs. daily oral iron for iron deficiency anaemia in ulcerative colitis in remission.
✅ Similar Hb improvement at 8 wks
📈 Flares: 21.5% (predicted by flare in prior 6 months)

We know stenting no better than dilation for CD stricture.
But now, @ibd_pal RCT shows endo stricturtomy is better than dilation, (although 58% 12m clinical recurrence for dilation is somewhat higher than most data)

Proud to share our randomised trial comparing balloon dilation with endoscopic stricturotomy for short Crohn’s strictures, in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology.

Is proximal small bowel Crohn worse than distal bcs the Tx is less effective there?
Well, No...
In our @sheba_medical #capsule study now published in @AGA_CGH , biologics induced similar mucosal healing in proximal vs distal SB.
