Program transforms pre-surgery weight loss care
An educational program developed by Monash University and Alfred Hospital researchers to better prepare patients for bariatric (weight loss) surgery is revolutionising their care, streamlining its delivery and leading to improved weight loss after surgery.
The program was based on a study overseen by Professor Wendy Brown, director of the Centre for Obesity Research and Education (CORE), and Associate Professor Peter Nottle, director of Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery at the Alfred Hospital.
Congratulations to Gastroenterology for NHMRC '10 of the best' 2015
Congratulations to Peter Gibson and his team for their research on the actual effect of gluten in IBS being chosen as one of the ten. The document quotes Prof Gibson as saying:
“We demonstrated that gluten, without FODMAPs, did not specifically induce symptoms in patients who believed they were gluten intolerant.
“Indeed, all patients experienced reduced gut symptoms in the run-in period when they, for the first time, restricted all FODMAPs in their diet.
“We found no changes in the physiology of the gut in response to gluten.”
