Celiac Disease is a growing problem in the United States.

As an adult gastroenterologist, I spend a lot of time taking care of people with inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Many of the patients that I take care of were originally diagnosed as children or adolescents. Joining me to talk about the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease in kids is Doctor Robert Baldassano, the Director of the Center of Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

If you are worried about your your children's abdominal complaints: diarrhea, abdominal pain, or even bleeding...give us a call at 1-87-NYU-DOCS!

Parkinson's disease...its scary. So news that regularly used pain killers may prevent this disease is a big deal! Join me and NYU Neurology Professor Dr. Alessandro DiRocco, the head of our Parkinson's disease center, to talk about this exciting new study. We will also answer your questions on the prevention and treatment of all sorts of movement disorders!

Of course, we will end the show with Ask Dr. Ira, where you can ask me any questions on any medical topic at all...remember, if your doctor doesn't have the time, we do!
