Gut health and you 

Exploring what works, what’s new, and living well with IBD and IBS

Gut health is increasingly recognised as an important part of overall well-being, yet conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) remain widely misunderstood. In this episode of MyHealth RCSI patients, clinicians and researchers come together to share experiences, insights and the latest advances in gut health. 

We'll explore the realities of living with IBD and IBS, including symptoms, diagnosis, disease management, diet, mental wellbeing and the challenges of living with an often-invisible illness. We'll also discuss why these conditions are becoming more common and highlight emerging research in areas such as personalised medicine, the microbiome and AI-enabled approaches to patient care.

Whether you're living with one of these conditions, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in learning more about gut health, join us for an engaging and informative conversation with a particular focus on understanding, managing and living well with IBD and IBS.
