    Well-rounded care in functional disorders with Tim Vanuytsel (UEG Podcast rewind)

    UEG Podcast is on summer holiday and re-releases published episodes that we think deserve another listen. Enjoy! Functional gastrointestinal disorders, or disorder of gut-brain interaction, can be frightening to many GIs. How do I talk to the patient? What can I tell them if there is no improvement in their symptoms? How can I even explain to them what their diagnosis is, if I don’t even know it? To clear things up and provide clear points of action, our host Egle Dieninyte talked to Tim Vanuytsel from the University Hospital in Leuven, Belgium. The content of UEG Talks is for healthcare professionals and is purely educational. The views of the speakers are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of United European Gastroenterology. This podcast is not medical advice and should not replace clinical judgment. Always consult official guidelines and relevant experts before making patient care decisions.

    Coeliac disease with David Sanders

    In this episode of the UEG Podcast, host Pradeep Mundre is joined by David Sanders, Professor of Gastroenterology at Sheffield and one of the world’s leading experts in coeliac disease. Timed with the recent update of the British Society of Gastroenterology coeliac guidelines, the discussion explores why coeliac disease remains frequently underdiagnosed, even in specialist care. Together, they unpack the latest evidence on serology-based diagnosis, optimal biopsy strategies, potential and seronegative coeliac disease, and when HLA testing is truly useful. The episode also covers long-term follow-up, the role of repeat biopsies, ultra-short coeliac disease, and emerging non-dietary therapies — including the realistic prospects of a future “pizza pill”. Check out the newest guidelines on coeliac disease here: https://doi.org/10.1002/ueg2.70119

    Under Pressure with Lina Sopiene

    In this thought-provoking episode of the UEG Podcast, host Egle Dieninyte sits down with organisational psychologist Lina Sopiene to explore one of medicine’s most unspoken challenges — burnout. Together, they unpack why high-achieving healthcare professionals often equate self-worth with performance, how this mindset fuels exhaustion, and what practical steps can help doctors and nurses reconnect with themselves. From learning to “be a human being, not just a human doing” to managing workplace anger and setting healthy boundaries, this conversation is a candid look at the emotional realities of hospital life. Lina offers grounded, compassionate insights on self-care, emotional regulation, and the art of saying no — lessons that every healthcare worker can relate to. Honest, empathetic, and deeply relevant — a must-listen for anyone navigating the pressures of modern medicine.
