Grand Rounds 2024 - Scientific evidence for a central role of food in IBS

This symposium from the newly formed Rome Foundation Diet and Nutrition section provides updates about the scientific evidence that supports the relevance of food in symptom generation in IBS and the use of various dietary interventions in the management of patients with IBS.

The symposium starts with a general overview on the role of food in the pathophysiology with IBS by Rome Foundation Board Member Magnus Simrén, University of Gothenburg, Sweden, and continues with two lectures dedicated to the current dietary interventions used to treat symptoms in IBS by Caroline Tuck, Swinburne University, Australia and Stine Störsrud, University of Gothenburg, Sweden; the session ends with a general discussion and Q&A, and after the session attendees will have a better knowledge about the scientific basis for a central role for food in the pathophysiology in IBS, and for use of dietary approaches as part of the clinical management of IBS, and how to communicate this to the patients.

Grand Rounds 2024 - Low FODMAP Diet Dilemmas: A Case-based Approach

This symposium will use a case-based approach to provide answers to questions that commonly arise about the low FODMAP diet when used for patients with IBS:

  1. What is basic dietary advice that can be given to an IBS patient, and how well does it work?
  2. How long should an IBS patient restrict FODMAPs, and what are the risks of prolonged restriction?
  3. How should patients be instructed to reintroduce foods containing FODMAPs?
  4. Are there options for patients who want a dietary approach but feel the traditional low FODMAP diet is impractical or too difficult?
  5. Does the low FODMAP diet offer benefits in all subgroups of patients with IBS?

Grand Rounds 2024: Abdominal Bloating and Distension

This Rome Foundation Grand Rounds presentation will appeal to individuals interested in evaluating and treating one of the most prevalent cluster of gastrointestinal symptoms – gas and bloating. These symptoms develop for a variety of different reasons. They are reported by a large number of patients with disorders of gut-brain interaction, such as irritable bowel syndrome and functional dyspepsia. The cause can be elusive; the pathophysiology is complex. The speaker will provide his perspective on this disorder, based on his clinical experience treating patients with these symptoms and research in the field.

Objectives for this Grand Rounds include:

● Review the epidemiology of abdominal bloating and distension

● Appreciate the complex pathophysiology of bloating and distension

● Recognize available treatment options

Grand Rounds 2024: Ten Questions About Functional Dyspepsia (An Interactive Case-based Illustration of New Developments)

Functional dyspepsia is one of the most common and challenging conditions in clinical practice. The last few years have seen major evolutions in the understanding of the disease, its underlying pathophysiology, and the available treatment options. The separation from gastroparesis is an ongoing topic of transatlantic and international debate.

This interactive program will use a case-based approach to reveal some of the current concepts, ongoing controversies, and new information that is likely to be presented at meetings and in the literature later this year.

The program will appeal to clinicians, medical providers, and researchers interested in understanding the complexity of upper gastrointestinal symptoms, their relationship to physiological events such as food intake, and the potential impact of novel pharmacological and dietary therapeutic interventions.

Grand Rounds 2024: Abuse, Trauma, and Illness: What is the link?

A Rome Foundation Continuing Medical Education program

Presentation by Douglas A. Drossman, MD With special guests: Lin Chang MD & Johannah Ruddy MEd

This comprehensive program will appeal to individuals interested in unraveling the intricate interplay between abuse, trauma, and gastrointestinal illness.

Part 1 begins with a compelling case report by Dr. Drossman, recounting the journey of his adolescent patient who, having endured early trauma, developed gastrointestinal symptoms. This case spurred Dr. Drossman to pioneer the first study in the medical literature, elucidating this association.

Part 2, presented by Dr. Chang, offers an insightful research update, including her groundbreaking studies into the association between adverse childhood events and gastrointestinal illness, bringing us to the present day.

Part 3, presented by Ms. Ruddy, invites us into the realm of a patient’s experience.

Part 4 concludes the program as Dr. Drossman imparts his clinical experience and insights in caring for these patients to aid healthcare providers.

Objectives:

● Recognize and assess the patient’s sociocultural background and its potential effect on the patient/HCP relationship and clinical outcome.
