Monday, May 22, 2017 on the Doctor Ira Breite Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology Show on SiriusXM 110: Doctor Radio!

Lots on the microbiome. That's probably the best way to sum up Monday's show.  We're starting with basic science and then heading to the "integrative."  We are going to find out what they are integrating.

Starting with the science.  Join me and Dr. John Rawls, PhD, of Duke University, who will be speaking to us about his new study showing that microbes can control actions of their animal hosts.  Creepy, but cool.

After that we will have Gastreonterology Update, where I will tell you the latest and greatest news in the world of digestive disease and answer your questions on all things GI at 1-877-NYU-DOCS.  Or send us a tweet.

We talk a lot on this show about the microbiome, and one of my points is how little we know clinically: while guys like Dr. Rawls make headway in the basic sciences, guys like me try to interpret what is known into clinical action.  But how much do we really know?   We'll be speaking with Dr. Mark Engelman, a permanent clinical consultant for Cyrex laboratories, about whether 'food sensitivities are really an autoimmune disorder.' I'm not sure what it means: lets find out.

We will end the show with Ask Doctor Ira, where you can ask me any medical question on ny topic at all: anything you forgot to ask your doctor ask me!  Give a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS!

I hope everyone is having a good Mother's Day.  We will be talking diabetes and liver.  Not sure what those have to do with Mother's Day, but, well, they are interesting topics

Starting with Diabetes. One of the biggest problems people with diabetes have is adjusting their diets to their new reality.  Join me and Dr. Melinda Maryniuk, MeD, RD of the Joslin Diabetes Center as we talk about healthy eating and diet modification in people with diabetes.

Diabetic?  Cook for one?  Give us a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS.

After that, we will open up the phones for Gastroenterology Update, where I will tell you the latest and greatest in the world of digestive disease and answer your questions at 1-877-NYU-DOCS. or send us a tweet!

Speaking of gastroenterology, my boards are coming up.  I have always found liver disease to be particularly tricky and am excited that hepatologist and Co-Director of the Liver Institute at Mount Sinai Dr. Ira Jacobson will be joining us to talk about hepatitis C, B and so much more.

We will end the show with Ask Doctor Ira, where you can ask me any questions on any medical topic at all: anything you forgot to ask your doctor ask me!

It's Digestive Disease Week!  Me, I'm stuck here in NY and am studying for my board recertification, but thousands of gastroenterologists have gathered in Chicago to talk shop.  Join me as I speak with Dr. Philip Stein of the Crohns and Colitis Foundation and Drexel Medical School about what's happening in the world of inflammatory bowel disease.

Ok.  I made a face on the radio when we talked about apple cider vinegar.  Turns out there is research on this subject.  Join me as I speak with Carol Johnston, PhD, of the Arizona State University about the real deal on this product.

We will end the show, as usual, with Ask Doctor Ira, where you can ask me any medical questions on any topic at all: anything you forgot to ask your doctor ask me! Give a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS or send me a tweet.
