In episode 55 of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we're continuing our gastrointestinal series and diving into chronic enteropathies.  These are some of the most common gastrointestinal diseases we see in practice and some of the most misunderstood. Today, though, we're changing that - looking at the types of chronic enteropathies we see, how they affect our patients, and how we diagnose, treat and nurse them. ---

In this episode, I'm joined by Erin O'Meara and Jason Hawrelak to discuss their groundbreaking study, "Preventing chemotherapy-induced diarrhea and microbiota imbalances with prebiotics and probiotics in breast cancer treatment: A case report."We explore how strategic use of prebiotics and probiotics can support gut health during chemotherapy, reduce side effects like diarrhea, and maintain microbiota balance during breast cancer treatment. This insightful conversation highlights the power of gut health in cancer care and offers hope for a more holistic approach to managing treatment-related challenges. If you or someone you know is navigating cancer treatment, or if you're passionate about the potential of microbiota-based therapies, this episode is essential listening.

There's hopes an improved vaccine against an infectious disease running rife through New Zealand cattle could ease costs for farmers.  The Ministry for Primary Industries is backing a project which aims to develop a modified vaccine against Bovine Viral Diarrhoea.  It impacts about 80% of our dairy and beef herds and costs the industry more than $190 million each year.  Research lead John Moffat told Mike Hosking that it's one of the many threats farmers face.  He says the virus is one of the most important issues needing to be dealt with in the cattle industry.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We have a very special episode for you today! Chris coaches a brave soul - Lucy - live on our podcast. They dig into patterns of over-doing, diarrhoea and chronic inflammation, and what's going on below the surface at the deeper “metaphysical” level. It's a rare honour to listen in on a very personal coaching session, so a big thank you to Lucy for allowing us to publish this beautiful episode. And also give Lucy some virtual/energetic love and compassion, as you listen to this intimate conversation. You might even find yourself resonating with the struggles, beliefs and insights that come out of this conversation. And if your heart is resonating with our style of holistic ROOT-root-cause healing & you are DONE with band-aid approaches and “managing” your symptoms and you are ready for real and long-lasting solutions, it's the last chance to join our Ending Body Burnout Method - doors close 28 May 9pm! Today's episode gives you a glimpse into our “metaphysical” side of healing, which we call “Spark”. Spark is a CRITICAL piece that is often missed in the health industry. It gets to the very root of body burnout, by identifying deep-seated beliefs and stories that are causing sickness, and keeping you stuck from healing. Essentially, the process dives deep into your brain, your nervous system and your unconscious mind, and rewires your healing abilities from within. You can find out more about this here. In today's episode, Chris coaches Lucy on: Gathering data around case-history - chronic diarrhoea post travelling, chronic injuries & ankylosing spondylitis & inflammation, and getting no answers with standard medicine, and no real results with natural medicine so far. Digging into “doing-doing-doing” patterns & fear of not achieving. Diarrhoea as a symbol of being “too-fast” in all areas of life. Deeper beliefs around what it means about Lucy if she is chilled, relaxed & not being “productive.” The two parts that are in opposition with each other (Productive Lucy & Lazy Lucy), causing conflict inside the body. Masculine vs feminine energy How both parts love Lucy, and want the very best for Lucy.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Nigeria pilot report: Reducing child mortality from diarrhoea with ORS & zinc, Clear Solutions, published by Martyn J on March 21, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary We introduce Clear Solutions, a Charity Entrepreneurship (now AIM) incubated charity founded in September 2023. Our focus is the prevention of deaths of young children from diarrhoea, an illness that kills approximately 444,000 children under-5 every year. From December 2023 to February 2024, we ran a pilot distribution of low-cost, highly effective treatments for diarrhoea, oral rehydration solution and zinc (ORSZ) in Kano, Nigeria, with implementation partner iDevPro Africa. We estimate having reached ~6900 children under-5. The intervention, based upon a randomised controlled trial in Uganda (Wagner et al, 2019), provides free co-packaged ORS and zinc ("co-packs") door-to-door to all households with children under 5 years old. The distribution is performed by local Community Health Workers (CHWs), who provide guidance and printed instructions on ORSZ usage during the visit. We surveyed communities pre- and post-intervention, allowing 6 weeks between ORSZ distribution and follow-up surveys for diarrhoea cases to accumulate. At these survey rounds, we recorded the timing of the child's last diarrhoea episode (if applicable) and how they were treated (if at all). Our primary outcome measure is the change in ORSZ usage rates pre-to-post intervention, though also we collected extensive contextual data to monitor operations and guide program improvements. This post summarises our preliminary analysis and conclusions. A more detailed report is available on our website here. We were kindly supported by knowledgeable advisors, but did not have an academic partnership, nor has this analysis been peer-reviewed. Nonetheless, we believe there is value in sharing our results and learnings with this community. Results in brief: Across 4 wards (geographic areas) of differing rurality, baseline usage rates for under-5s' last diarrhoea episode in the preceding 4 weeks were reported at a range across wards of 44.7% - 50.9% for ORS and 11.1% - 26.7% for ORS+zinc when asked directly. At follow-up post-intervention, the usage rate for the preceding 4-weeks was reported at a range across wards of 90.0 - 97.7% for ORS and 88.2% - 94.1% for ORSZ. (95% margins of error up to 10pp and are not shown here for readability; see Results for details.) Superficially, this indicates a change of 42.0 - 52.8 percentage points (pp) in ORS use and 61.5 - 83.0pp for ORSZ. However, we treat this result with caution, with specific concerns such as social desirability bias in survey responses inflating true values. We discuss more in Limitations below. Conclusions in brief: We consider this to be a solid result in favour of the intervention having a strong potential to prevent deaths in a cost-effective manner in the Nigerian context. (We do not estimate cost-effectiveness in this report, but will be working on a follow-up with that). There are, however, clear limitations in the pilot that warrant considerable down-weighting of our results, though we do not expect this to change the conclusions qualitatively. Introducing Clear Solutions Clear Solutions was founded in September 2023 with the support of Charity Entrepreneurship (now AIM). Our mission is to prevent deaths of young children from diarrhoea, a leading cause of death for under-5s globally, in a cost-effective and evidence-based manner. The 1970s medical breakthrough, Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS), a dosed mixture of sugar, salts and water, unlocked the possibility of preventing >90% of diarrhoeal deaths at full coverage. The addition of zinc can reduce diarrhoea duration and recurrence, and the World Health Organisation recognised this in 2019 by adding co-packaged ORS a...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Clean Water - the incredible 30% mortality reducer we can't explain, published by NickLaing on November 4, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. TLDR: The best research we have shows that clean water may provide a 30% mortality reduction to children under 5. This might be the biggest mortality reduction of any single global health intervention, yet we don't fully understand why it works. Here I share my exploration of a life-saving intervention that we don't fully understand, but really should. I may err a little on the side of artistic license - so if you find inaccuracies or I'm a bit loose please forgive me, correct me or even feel free to just tear me to shreds in the comments ;). Part 1: Givewell's Seemingly absurd numbers I first became curious after a glance at what seemed like a dubious GiveWell funded project. A $450,000 dollar scoping grant for water chlorination in Rwanda? This didn't make intuitive sense to me. In Sub-saharan Africa diarrhoea causes 5-10% of child mortality. While significant, the diarrhea problem continues to improve with better access to medical care, improving ORS and Zinc coverage, and antibiotics for more severe cases. Over the last 5 years, our own Ugandan health centers have encountered surprisingly few very sick kids with diarrhoea and I've hardly seen diarrhoea kill a child, as opposed to Malaria and Pneumonia which tragically kill kids all the time. It seemed to me that even if clean water hugely reduced diarrhoea mortality, the intervention would still likely be an expensive way to achieve 1 or 2 percent mortality reduction, So with my skeptic hat on, I clicked the GiveWell spreadsheet and my incredulity only grew. GiveWell estimated an upper-bound mortality reduction of an almighty 17% for the Rwandan chlorination program! At first that made no sense, but I did expect GiveWell would likely be lesswrong than me. The Global burden of disease estimates that Diarrhoea makes up only 4.9% of total deaths in Rwanda. How could an intervention which targets diarrhoea reduce mortality by over three times the total diarrhoea mortality? Even if the clean water cured all diarrhoea, that wouldn't come close to GiveWell's mortality reduction estimate. Something fishy was afoot, but I quickly found some answers, through a nobel prize winner's study which was partially funded by you guessed it…….. GiveWell Part 2: A Nobel Prize winner's innovative math Michael Kremer won a Nobel prize along with two J-PAL co-founders for their wonderful work pioneering randomised controlled trials to assess development interventions. What better person to try their hand at estimating the mortality benefit of clean water than a father of the RCT movement? But connecting clean water and mortality is tricky, because to date no-one has actually asked whether clean water can reduce child mortality. Instead, a number of RCT asked the more obvious question, does clean water reduce diarrhoea. The answer obviously yes. But Kremer and co. found a clever way around this. They sifted through all studies which looked at the relationship between clean water and diarrhoea and identified 12 studies [1] that also gathered bits and pieces of mortality data. They then performed a meta-analysis, pooling that mortality data together to see whether clean water save kids' lives. The result - they estimated that clean water caused an incredible 30% mortality reduction in kids under 5. If this is even in the ballpark of correct, clean water could could prevent one in three childhood deaths in much of sub-saharan Africa. If Africa could chlorinate and filter all drinking water, we could save perhaps 1 million lives every year in sub-saharan Africa alone . Mosquito nets might bow to their new king. To be as crystal clear as the water, this is not just a 30% reduction in diarrheal death...

Monetary - Diarrhoea is what happens when the global banking system can't keep it in any longer. "a range of symptoms including diarrhoea and vomiting" Google reveals a nuance yet again. Diarrhoea begets more Diarrhoea. As the supply of money rises, the global financial system needs more new money just to keep it together, which in turn, requires more money creation to occur. If not assets, then something else. It's a bit weird how it all works to be honest. But it's probably nothing. Right now, just because interest rates are high and banks are slamming on the breaks. It doesn't mean the money printers been turned off. No no no. It's just facing another direction. War is expensive, re-building's expensive, getting off fossil fuels... phew! Is it possible interest rates will continue to rise and stay elevated for years? I wouldn't bet on it. Inevitably, asset values will once again be the sponge to soak up new currency creation.

Top of The Hour Shower Thoughts The Morning Shag with Shags and Trevor 5:30am to 10:00am on 96.7 KCMQ Classic Rock in Mid-Missouri

Every time I meet a potential new client, I go through their symptom history with them. About 90% of the time, they tell me they have cyclical diarrhoea, and some of them experience pain with that diarrhoea. Naturally, many of them are really worried by these symptoms and are concerned it's endo related, and that it mean there's endo in or around the rectum, but the truth is, that it might not be directly caused by endo itself. In fact, diarrhoea or loose stools during your period is very common, for people both with and without endometriosis. Now, this doesn't mean it's normal and that we should put up with it. There are some very real reasons this issue can occur and some very tangible ways to reduce it, so let's get into it.   Inflammation and the menstrual cycle Okay, so the number one reason most of us get diarrhoea or loose stools on our periods is inflammation. This is the biggest take away from today's episode. Inflammation is a normal part of the menstrual cycle – we have higher levels of inflammatory chemicals prostaglandins E2 and histamines during both ovulation and menstruation. These chemicals aid the shedding of the uterine lining by causing contractions, and they aid with the egg release during ovulation.  It's healthy to have these in normal levels and these normal levels, can cause more frequent and a little looser bowel movements. This occurs because prostaglandins sort of ‘spill' over into the surrounding area, and if you look at a cross section of the pelvis, you'll see that the colon is directly behind the uterus, so it is very easily affected. So, these prostaglandins not only cause a contraction sensation in the uterus, but in the bowel as well. So as a result, all of us, to a degree, will have more frequent, maybe a little less formed stools, during our period. Especially just before and on Day 1 when levels of these inflammatory chemicals are at their highest. The issue of course is that for those of us with endo and/or painful periods, we don't tend to have normal levels of prostaglandins, in fact, research has shown us that people with endo and people who experience painful periods, have higher levels of prostaglandins. Which means severer cramps, heightened pain and very likely, diarrhoea. And of course, this excessive inflammation is painful – that's one of the symptoms of inflammation – pain, and when it's too high, it can be very severe, so if you're getting pain in your rectum or gut, it could be due to the severity of the cramping and swelling caused by excessive inflammation in the area. Now, just because we have endo, that doesn't mean we have to put up with high levels of prostaglandins. Yes, the endo lesions themselves release prostaglandins and the body releases excessive amounts because our immune system is constantly trying to repair and protect the area from endo, but we can lower these levels, and as a result, see an improvement in pain with endo, as well as an improvement in diarrhoea and painful bowel movements during menstruation.  I'll get to how to do that shortly, but let's move onto my second reason as to why you may be experiencing painful bowel movements and diarrhoea during menstruation.   Aggravated pelvic floor dysfunction and nerve sensitivity We know that many people with endometriosis have a tight pelvic floor, where the muscles are tense and constricted. Contrary to popular belief, this can mean the muscles are weak – yes, they are tight, but that doesn't mean they're strong. In fact, muscles need to be able to contract and release in order to perform the correct movements, and if they're tight all the time, they can't do that, and so the function of muscles that control bowel movements and urination can become impaired.  Now some of us can feel the effects of this all month long, and it might look like constipation or faecal urgency (which is when the urge to go just can't wait), but when we have excessive prostaglandins causing a lot of cramping and movements in the bowel, we suddenly have loose and watery stools sitting in the colon and weak muscles with the inability to hold them. So we end up having to dash to and fro from the toilet.  Additionally, the tightness of the muscles can be aggravating the nerves in the area, creating hypersensitivity, resulting in pain or urgency. This can of course be worsened if you've had surgery which could have affected your nerves (and I've linked to an article that explains why this can occur) and of course constant pain can cause nerve sensitivity, and endo on the nerves can also do this too. So, your nerves may be responding with even more sensitivity to this situation.   Endo and adhesions Next up is of course an obvious one, and that's that you may potentially have endo or adhesions on the bowel. Now, what I will say is that most of the clients I see, don't have endo on or in the bowel, so please don't panic and assume that because you have diarrhoea or cramping on your period that must mean you have endo there. As I hope I've explained, this is naturally going to occur with excessive inflammation and so the key is to reduce those levels. And with these clients, the painful bowel movements and diarrhoea significantly improves or resolves entirely with making some lifestyle and dietary changes. However, even in my clients who do have endo in that area, we can still see improvements and do see improvements. Remember, endo is an inflammatory disease and the inflammation is really the leading source of our symptoms, so by targeting the inflammation, we can target the symptoms.   So basically, what I want to get across here is that endo on the bowel or adhesions on the bowel doesn't sentence you to diarrhoea and painful bowel movements for the rest of your life, and equally, having diarrhoea or painful bowel movements on your period doesn't automatically mean you have endo there. Having said that, I do want to acknowledge that for some people, bowel endometriosis can be very difficult to manage, especially if it's excessive, and so I appreciate that there may be more work to be done, and you'll need a specialist surgeon to support you with improving these symptoms.    Stress Lastly, menstruation with endometriosis can be a stressful experience, to say the least. The anxiety of anticipating our period starting alone can cause diarrhoea, and that's because the stress response directly affects our gut. Stress slows down the digestion process, resulting in slowed digestion and motility in the stomach and small intestine, but it often can speed up motility in the large intestine, which is where all the waste lives and so of course, when motility speeds up here, we get diarrhoea and cramping, which could of course be worsening all of the above issues I've already mentioned. So, what can we do to improve diarrhoea and painful bowel movements on our period?   Lower inflammation Of course, the first place we want to start is with lowering inflammation. We can lower inflammation overall with a diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods like vegetables, fruits, healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, nuts and seeds; lean organic proteins and whole grains. Lowering inflammatory foods like alcohol, trans fats and refined vegetable oils, processed foods and refined carbs, and added sugar can of course make a big difference as well, but I appreciate that can be triggering for some, so I would rather suggest we first start with just adding in more of the good stuff! Additionally, we can give our body a bit of a helping hand by using supplements which can lower the inflammatory prostaglandins, prostaglandin E2. Magnesium lowers inflammatory prostaglandins and cramping, so having a couple of Epsom salt baths before your period and during can really help as this is a great way to absorb magnesium. To get the right amount of magnesium, you'll need 500 g – 600 g of Epsom salts per bath. Additionally, I swear by magnesium oil sprays! I spray daily on my body after my shower, but I use the spray directly on my pelvic area, back and abdomen to ease any cramping on my period and it works within minutes.  Omega 3 fatty acids also help to lower inflammatory prostaglandins, and are best used daily because these are essential fats we need all cycle long. The therapeutic dose is  between 1000mg to 3000mg a day, but it can be tricky to get hold of those levels without exceeding the dose recommendations on the bottle. If you chose to exceed the dose recommendations on the label, obviously that's your choice but you'll need to consult with a practitioner to be on the safe side.  If you're vegan, look for an algae-based supplement that contains both DHA and EPA, because we need both.  The only risk is that they can sometimes thin blood, so speak to your surgeon ahead of surgery to see whether you need to stop taking them a few days beforehand, for keyhole surgery it's unlikely, but just check. There are multiple supplements you can use to lower inflammation, such as curcumin and quercetin, but one I love for in-the-moment relief during menstruation is ginger. Ginger has been shown to be just as effective as ibuprofen and mefenamic acid for painful periods, so if you're looking to get off NSAIDS, this could help. It's been shown in multiple studies to reduce dysmenorrhea and is generally a wonderfully powerful anti-inflammatory and pain reliever, demonstrated in numerous studies. The recommendation for dysmenorrhea is between 750mg to 2000mg per day, split into doses of around 250-500mg in the lead up to your period and during the first 3-4 days of your cycle and I've linked to the studies so you can have a little look.  What I will say is excessive amounts of ginger in one go can ironically cause diarrhoea, which is the opposite of what we want, we just want to lower inflammation, so I would start at the lower dose and work up until you find a dose that relieves your pain and cramping but doesn't cause more diarrhoea. Of course, as always, please consult your practitioner before using any new supplements. Ginger is also a natural blood thinner, so this is especially important if you're already on blood thinning medication.   Slow large intestine motility Next up, it can be helpful to avoid caffeine, which can actually stimulate motility in the large intestine and speed up bowel movements. So, the day or so before your period and during your period, you may want to avoid coffee, tea and energy drinks and maybe even chocolate if you're sensitive. You could further support this by trying bulking agents to bulk up your stools and slow down the transit time. Now, this is tricky because many of us with endo have small intestine bacterial overgrowth, and many forms of soluble and insoluble fibre that can bulk up stools and slow down transit can worsen SIBO, because the SIBO likes to eat these types of fibre. The best thing to do is to test yourself with a little of whichever bulking agent you want to try, and over time increase the dose to test your tolerance.  If you get severe abdominal pain and severe painful bloating during menstruation, I would test these at times when you're less reactive because we don't want to put you in more pain and discomfort.  A good one to try would be psyllium husk, which you could add to things like a smoothie, yoghurt or oats. If you're prone to constipation at other times in your cycle, I wouldn't use psyllium husk at other points - this is just a strategy to using during the times when you get more diarrhoea. Now, it might take 24 hours to slow down the transit so I would maybe consider bringing it in 24 hours prior to when you expect the diarrhoea to start. If you're on a SIBO diet or you're currently treating SIBO, I would talk to your practitioner about trying this first.  You can get psyllium husk supplements, so just follow the label dose but maybe start with the lowest amount you can take first, in order to test your tolerance. You can also just get a powder, and again, follow the label dose, starting with the lowest amount.   Support the pelvic floor Finally, you may also want to look into working on your pelvic floor if you experience pain with your bowel movements and faecal urgency. This isn't something that's going to relieve the pain and the diarrhoea in the moment, but it will improve these issues over time. There are pelvic floor exercises online, as well as online programmes. Of course, the ideal scenario would be to see a pelvic floor physiotherapist, but if you can't afford that, I've linked to a few free videos and some pelvic floor programmes in the show notes. The book Beating Endo also has some fantastic exercises for improving the pelvic floor. Now, of course, overall, we want to improve your gut health, if there's SIBO, we want to address that, and if there's endo in or on the rectum, that needs to looked at by a specialist. There are lots of root causes we can work on here, but lowering inflammation and adding a bulking agent are two strategies that can bring relief instantly and over time, and supporting your pelvic floor can also be done fairly easily at home, so the barrier to entry is pretty low.  If you're interested in doing more work to dive deeper with your gut health, I have a podcast series on healing the endo belly, and of course an entire course, called The Endo Belly Course, which isn't open for enrolment at the moment but you can certainly join the waiting list for that, and I've put the link in the show notes. So, now you know why you experience diarrhoea on your period and I really hope that these strategies help you to reduce this and help you to have an easier period!
