Vancomycin - is it a promising option for the treatment of PSC? We've seen some astonishing accounts of its efficacy from some individuals, but is there enough evidence to justify using it for PSC? Dr Roger Chapman takes a look at the evidence: https://t.co/N6kPUn67fr #PSC

Ppl living w/ #rarediseases must be able to afford therapies that come to market. The high cost of Rx drugs has a direct impact on patients' ability to access lifesaving care. Because of these issues, #NORD has released key #drugpricing principles: https://t.co/Ed2n3tSBik

#ICYMI: Yesterday, the #OrphanDrugAct Resolution was introduced in the House of Representatives. Show your support for this valuable piece of legislation for the #raredisease community! Take action here: https://t.co/8OLqrSjf1t

Personalized nutrition led by data-driven approaches is moving forward. It's fascinating how our gut microbiome is helping scientists to create an algorithm for a balanced eating by @EricTopol with insights from @segal_eran & @EranElinav in @nytopinion https://t.co/e1E2Ywq7cO

Im so excited that our trial, #FMT for PSC, now published in #AJG. This is the first fmt trial I ever designed and I couldn’t be more proud! First of many important steps for finding treatments for #PSC !!@PSCPartners https://t.co/wvavGFZ58X

My latest for @NatureMedicine, for which I visited a library...of bacteria isolated from poop. Why? Scientists hope to put the bacteria in a pill that will help deliver the same benefits as fecal transplants, but w/o making the FDA nervous. Check it out: https://t.co/MTJKqtoQnW

@HealioGastro @MDAndersonNews @NatureMedicine Take a look at Phillip Newman’s case history. At 17 he had diarrhea for 4-6 months before telling his parents. He had 8-10 bowel movements a day with blood when he finally told family. He is in the PSC patient data base. His diarrhea began after finishing acne RX called Clevaris

[Healio Gastroenterology @HealioGastro]

We spoke with an expert from @MDAndersonNews on a case series that she and colleagues published in @NatureMedicine that demonstrated that a fecal transplant was effective for immunotherapy-induced colitis https://t.co/Y5qXvYmwPc

Having a great day today. Our work was noticed by the great @EricTopol ! And we just discussed it with @EricVerdin yesterday. The microbiome aging clock needs more work and validation but is surprisingly promising. #Longevity
