The Curb Siders podcast is for entertainment, education, and information purposes only. At the top, it's discussed. It should not be used to only a diet of street cure or prevent a disease or conditions.

For the more the views and statements expressed on this podcast are solely those that should not be interpreted to reflect official policy or position of any entity that is eye-run possible, cash-like-more-hospital, and affiliate outreach programs.

If any, there are any, if you fact there are none, pretty much we aren't sponsored if you screw up, you should always be your own home or can let us know.

Welcome back to the Curb Siders.

Hi, Matt. How you doing?

Stuart, I thought you were just out in a second.

Nope.

I'm doing good.

The typing bit, the typing bit, Stuart, man, it's been like 250 plus episodes since you've done that one.

Great stuff. I'm doing a drive-pipes stuff now.

So tonight, this is part one of two. We are talking about diarrhea, and this is the acute diarrhea episode with Dr. Shao Jing Iris Wang, who is fantastic. You'll meet her shortly.

And with me is the great Dr. Stuart Ken Brigham, and of course, as always, Dr. Paul Nelson Williams-Paul, could you tell the audience what is it that we do on this show?

Happy to, as always, Matt. We are the internal medicine podcast, used expert interviews to put you in clinical roles to practice changing your knowledge.

And in addition to our amazing expert, we also have Dr. Elena Gibson with us to boost the subject code, and we'll let Dr. Gibson tell us about our guests.

We'll be discussing that.

Thank you. So we discussed acute diarrhea with Dr. Iris Wang. She is a assistant professor of gastroenterology and hepatology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester.

You can find her on Twitter at Iris Wang MD, and she does some clinical and research in functional GI disorders, or disorders of the gut brain axis as we learn today.

She's also an amateur baker during the weekends, and in this episode we discuss acute diarrhea, the initial evaluation, when to do more microbiologic workup, when to treat with antibiotics, and how to discuss treatment options for symptoms with patients, including a little paramide, and other options.

Hey, Elena, do you know how patients never describe their diarrhea?

Let's hear it.
