Excited to see real-world data supporting budesonide orodispersible tablets in EoE, with high clinical and histologic remission rates and a favorable safety profile. As someone deeply interested in GI, studies like this highlight how translational research can directly improve patient care in everyday practice. #GI #MedTwitter #EoE #GITwitter #GIResearch @DDWMeeting

H. pylori treatment has become a lot less “one-size-fits-all.” With rising antibiotic resistance, the old habit of reaching for clarithromycin based triple therapy no longer works as reliably as many of us were taught. Recent guidance instead recommends 14 day bismuth quadruple therapy as preferred first line treatment for treatment naive patients, with rifabutin triple therapy or vonoprazan-based therapy as alternatives when needed. What stands out to me is how much this reflects a bigger shift in medicine: choosing regimens not just by habit, but by resistance patterns, tolerability, and likelihood of actually getting eradication right the first time. And an important reminder, every treated patient needs a test of cure. How are you approaching first line H. pylori treatment in your practice? @AmCollegeGastro @JAMA_current #MedTwitter #Gastroenterology #GI #InternalMedicine #MedEd #EvidenceBasedMedicine

158,850 adults are projected to be diagnosed in 2026, and 55,230 lives may be lost @AmericanCancer . Increasing screening to 80% could reduce colorectal cancer diagnoses by 22% and deaths by 33% by 2030. When detected early, about 89% of patients survive 5+ years, compared with 16% when diagnosed at an advanced stage. Screening could also help reduce healthcare spending by $14 billion by 2050 @CDCgov . Knowing your family history, starting screening at 45 (earlier if high-risk), and not ignoring persistent GI symptoms can save lives. #ColorectalCancer #ScreeningSavesLives #CancerPrevention #PublicHealth #CancerAwareness #CRC #EarlyDetection

We often choose between apixaban and rivaroxaban for acute VTE almost interchangeably. But a new randomized trial (COBRRA, @NEJM ) suggests the choice may matter more than we think. Among 2,760 patients, clinically relevant bleeding was lower with apixaban (3.3%) vs rivaroxaban (7.1%), with similar VTE recurrence. For those managing VTE regularly, does this influence your DOAC selection? @AmCollegeGastro @ACGCRJ #MedTwitter #InternalMedicine #Thrombosis #Hematology #ClinicalTrials #EvidenceBasedMedicine #Gastroenterology #ACGCRJ

GI is diet-driven, yet structured nutrition training in fellowship remains limited. From IBD to GERD to MASLD, food is not adjunctive therapy, it is core management. If we expect fellows to manage chronic GI disease comprehensively, lifestyle medicine must be part of formal training. #ACGCRJ #Gastroenterology #MedEd @ACGCRJ @AmCollegeGastro

Wishing peace, clarity, and blessings to all who observe. #Ramadan2026 ☪️🕌📿

Glad to be joining the @AmCollegeGastro GI in the Family Subcommittee. We’ll be interviewing gastroenterologist families for an upcoming ACG Magazine series. It’s a different side of academic medicine than abstracts and data. #Gastroenterology #ACG #MedicalEducat

Honored to be selected for @TexasACP Scholarship for Leadership Day 2026 in Washington, DC. Looking forward to advocating for patients, trainees, and the future of internal medicine. @ACPIMPhysicians #ACPLegDay #HealthPolicy #InternalMedicine #MedTwitter #PhysicianAdvocacy

⭐️ Editor's pick of the Month #ACGCRJ Pharyngeal lesions are often overlooked during upper GI endoscopy.🔦 With growing Western ESD expertise, it may be time to expand into the pharynx. Read more🔗 tinyurl.com/43bw9ne2

#ACGCRJ Case of the month! 🫃 LVP is generally safe, but rare catastrophic cardiopulmonary complications can occur. ⚠️ Abrupt pressure shifts, re-expansion edema, cardiogenic decompensation. 📌 High-risk patients need vigilance even with “routine” procedures. #GI #Hepatology

Grateful to share that 7 abstracts have been accepted for presentation at #DDW2026 in Chicago. Looking forward to presenting, learning, and continuing to grow in academic gastroenterology. @DDWMeeting @AmCollegeGastro @ACGCRJ @AmerGastroAssn @DHRhealth @AASLDtweets @ASGEendoscopy

Fellowship will begin July 1, 2026 at @DHRhealth Interested applicants are encouraged to apply through lnkd.in/giUA3gJY. #DHRHealth #DHRHealthGME #GraduateMedicalEducation #Gastroenterolog
