COURSE X: Gut Instinct

Course X focuses  on the vast hidden realm of the body’s internal skin. Starting with the small intestine, the common problems of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) are explored, with their drivers and presentations. The focus is then turned to the fiery acidic ecology of the stomach, key for the health of the rest of the bowel. Moving further downstream, inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer are brought into focus, clarifying both the clinical presentations and possible contributors to these dis-eases.
