New episode of THE PIBD Digest takes us to Tokyo with Prof Katsuhiro Arai (“Sunny”) — paediatric gastroenterologist, President-Elect of APPSPGHAN, and a true champion for children with IBD.
From Japan’s national IBD registry to emerging PIBD trends, Sunny shares how data is transforming care. But what shines brightest is his passion for supporting the psychological wellbeing of children and families living with IBD.

Insightful, inspiring, and full of 'Sunny' positivity. ☀️

Straight from BSPGHAN Leeds 2026, we “borrowed” two brilliant paediatric gastroenterologists for a quick debrief. Dr Neil Chanchlani simplifies the ECCO-ESPGHAN guidelines, while Dr Rebecca Little highlights a key gap in UK IBD standards. Your conference catch-up—no badge required. Press play and pretend you were there all along.
