Colonic polyps are small growths in your large intestine. Most aren’t dangerous, but some can turn cancerous over time, so spotting them early is key. 🩸

You might not even notice one, but look out for:

Blood on toilet paper or in your stool
Constipation or diarrhoea lasting more than a week

If you’re over 50, have a family history of polyps or colon cancer, or have certain lifestyle risk factors, regular check-ups are especially important.
Polyps are usually removed safely during a colonoscopy, and follow-ups help reduce any risk of them coming back.

Your gut health matters , if anything feels off, don’t wait to get it checked! 💛

Poster Title: A Retrospective Review of Antibiotic Infusion for Symptomatic Blastocystis hominis and Dientamoeba fragilis Infections

Our study examines antibiotic infusion therapy for patients with symptomatic Blastocystis hominis and Dientamoeba fragilis infections, treated at the Centre for Digestive Diseases.

Across more than 150 cases, we observed a 95% treatment success rate, underscoring the potential of this therapy in managing persistent intestinal parasite infections.

We look forward to sharing these findings and connecting with peers at ACG 2025.

Not all gut-friendly meals are high in fibre!

For people recovering from digestive procedures or managing conditions like Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, or diverticulitis, a low-residue, low-fibre diet can help ease discomfort while still providing essential nourishment.

This comforting Chicken Vegetable Pasta Soup is light, balanced, and designed to be gentle on the digestive system, perfect for days when your gut needs a break, but your body still needs wholesome fuel.

Why Choose Low-Residue Meals?
A low-residue diet reduces the amount of undigested food moving through your intestines, which can:

🔹 Minimise bloating, gas, or cramping

🔹 Support healing after certain gastrointestinal procedures

🔹 Ease flare-ups of chronic digestive conditions

A gentle recipe like this proves that gut care doesn’t mean compromising on flavour or nourishment. 🌿

🥖 Many people live with undiagnosed coeliac disease for years, often because symptoms are dismissed or self-diagnosed as “just IBS” or “gluten intolerance.”🥖

Our Doctors are world-leading specialists that use evidence-based testing to deliver clear, accurate answers. Here’s how coeliac disease is diagnosed

🔹 Consultation: Review your symptoms and medical history.
🔹 Blood tests: Look for specific antibodies that suggest coeliac disease.
🔹 Endoscopy & biopsy: Confirm diagnosis by assessing the small intestine for damage.
🔹Ongoing support: If diagnosed, our team supports you with treatment plans and long-term care to protect your health.

Why is testing so important?
Because untreated coeliac can lead to serious health issues, including malnutrition, osteoporosis, and increased risk of some cancers.

💬 If you’ve been self-diagnosing or cutting out gluten without guidance, it may be time to ask: Could it be coeliac disease?
