For #WorldOralHealthDay, we’re showcasing our research uncovering how oral health connects with wider inflammatory and metabolic conditions.

More than ten years and a COVID pandemic to get this one across the line, looking at route of FMT and mechanisms in ulcerative colitis: https://t.co/dkG8u93G6d

Up to 30% of people with inflammatory bowel disease experience mental ill health as a result of diagnosis - but new research has found a simple tool can identify psychological distress and predict disease severity, leading to more personalised treatment > https://t.co/AWCYA6b62t

🚀 Day 2 | Session 2 at IBD360 in Birmingham brings rapid-fire updates from 6 ongoing multicentre #IBD research studies: ACESO, IBD RESPONSE, HALT Colitis, OCEAN, INSIGHT PSC, and FISTULA.

An excellent snapshot of collaborative research shaping the future of IBD care!

Thousands of new patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease each year could receive more tailored mental health support thanks to a tool that identifies psychological distress and predicts disease severity at the point of diagnosis.

@JonnyBlackwell @BirminghamBRC @AGA_Gastro Sorry!

Here's the paper: https://t.co/MLWp1QbF6g

[Peter Rimmer @PeterRimmerIBD]

Delighted to see this published after a lot of dedication from the whole team!

This paper highlights the key microbial perturbations at IBD onset and underlines the opportunity for early microbiome directed intervention in IBD.

Patients experience significant changes in gut bacteria at the onset of inflammatory bowel disease (#IBD), a new international study has found - offering new hope for earlier diagnosis and future treatments.

Happy to be able to share our experience and discuss the merits of using the IBD Disk in patients at first presentation with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Friend, colleague and gastroenterologist, Dr Peter Rimmer! 🤩

[NIHR Biomedical Research Centre: Birmingham @BirminghamBRC]

What is the gut microbiome? How can changing it help treat inflammatory bowel disease?
This is the fascinating topic of our next online research talk with Dr @PeterRimmerIBD (@uhbtrust).

"The Usual Suspects" 🕵️‍♂️🔍 – diagnostic delays in IBD could mean worse outcomes!

Take a look at this study in @FrontGastro_BMJ exploring how to optimise triage of suspected referrals - https://t.co/91JblFExBZ

Findings:
• Symptoms like blood in stools and weight loss are strong indicators 🩸⚖️
• Serial FCP testing can reduce unnecessary colonoscopies 💡
• 2 FCP tests >200 µg/g can fast-track patients to colonoscopy 🚶‍♀️💨
….

Early diagnosis, less waiting – better outcomes! 💪

Our new study, published in @JCC_IBD, investigates the mechanisms of action of oral vancomycin in PSC-IBD. Induction of clinical remission was associated with changes in gut microbiome and bile acid metabolism. Thanks to @Y_ECCO_IBD grant, patients, and collaborators.

[NIHR Biomedical Research Centre: Birmingham @BirminghamBRC]

🆕 Patients with suspected inflammatory bowel disease (#IBD) could benefit from better testing protocols that would speed up diagnosis, reducing the need and lengthy wait for potentially unnecessary colonoscopies.
