Co-developed with world-leading experts in gastroenterology — Pr. Maura Corsetti, Pr. Nicholas Talley, and Pr. Lucas Wauters — this tool is based on the latest Rome IV criteria and built for real-life clinical practice.
It also helps improve communication between physicians and patients through visual, accessible explanations
Up to 75% of individuals with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) may be undiagnosed. Properly diagnosing IBS can be challenging and uncertain, it is a complex disease which is difficult to explain to your patient during an average consultation.
Therefore, Pr. Jean-Marc Sabaté, Pr. Jan Tack, Dr. Pedro Costa Moreira and the Biocodex Microbiota Institute have created a check list tool in order to better diagnose IBS and communicate with your patient.
Xpeer Medical Education, the global reference in digital medical education, is launching a set of free accrediting courses to improve physician’s knowledge about the importance of human microbiota on health with the support of an unrestricted grant by Biocodex Microbiota Institute.
With the practicality of an app, yet, with the expertise of scientists, you can get AMA or EACCME credits.

The Rationale Behind Why and How to Choose a Probiotic by Prof. Mary-Ellen Sanders
Synopsis of the course
In recent years, probiotics have gained enormous scientific relevance, as there has been an increasing number of studies supporting probiotic health benefits beyond the digestive tract, including oral, liver, skin, vaginal and urinary tract health. However, not all probiotics are the same. The decision of choosing a probiotic should be based on clinical recommendations based on their efficacy to treat certain pathologies. Among a wide variety of probiotic products, how to choose one? And why? This course will give you the clues and rationale behind selecting a probiotic. Moreover, do not miss the opportunity of learning from a renowned expert some misconceptions and practical recommendations regarding probiotics use!

The Development of Intestinal Microbiota at Birth and the Consequence of a Healthy and Unbalanced Microbiota by Prof. Ericka Montijo Barrios
Synopsis of the course
In recent years, the interest in researching the complex interaction between the human gut microbiota and our health has not stopped. Moreover, healthcare professionals have begun wondering if the initial establishment of the gut microbiota plays any role in our adult life. How is the microbiota formed and developed in infancy? How important is it later in life? In this course, you will learn about which factors influence our microbiota even before we are born, and what the consequences of an immature microbiota are later in adult life. Moreover, do not miss out on the practical recommendations on how to enhance a healthy, mature microbiota in children! Unrestricted grant by Biocodex Microbiota Institute

Gut Microbiota in the Management of Gastrointestinal Symptoms by Dr. Eamonn Quigley
Synopsis of the course
Does the microbiota affect GI symptoms? The answer is yes, as largely demonstrated in the literature. But then, can we use the microbiota to treat GI symptoms? Join Dr. Eamonn Quigley in this review of the most recent and interesting data on the interaction between the microbiota and GI symptoms. We will review the effects of the microbiome on upper, and lower GI symptoms (focusing on IBS), bowel habit, bloating, flatulence, and distension, and we will get some practical tips to provide the best care to our patients with GI symptoms. Are you going to miss it?

The Detection, Prevention and Treatment of Gut Microbiome Dysbiosis by Prof. Francisco Guarner
Synopsis of the course
Alterations in the gut microbiome may be implicated in the pathogenesis of several non-communicable diseases and in the transition of these conditions to chronicity. Many studies have shown links between fecal microbiota composition and disease, including metabolic, inflammatory and neoplastic disorders. However, the exact (if any) causative role that microbiota changes may have in those diseases remains unclear. Thus, there has been little translation of microbiome science into clinical practice so far, especially in the domains of diagnosis and prognosis, due to the lack of supportive evidence for test and treat strategies. Nevertheless, it is becoming clear that developing and maintaining gut microbiota diversity is a novel clinical target for health promotion and disease prevention, and that diet and probiotics are the natural and most efficient way to improve diversity.

Gut Microbiota and Metabolic Disease by Prof. Karine Clement
Synopsis of the course
In the last years, more and more discoveries have shed light into the complex interaction between the gut microbiota and its human host. Its influence, although still not fully understood, ranges from helping defend against pathogens, and help digest otherwise indigestible foods, to maintain the gut barrier integrity, but also modulate human health and metabolism. This last one is particularly important because more recent studies have suggested that the gut microbiota may be implicated in metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes.
