THE pIBD DIGEST is an educational podcast exploring paediatric inflammatory bowel disease (pIBD). Endorsed by the British Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (BSPGHAN) IBD Working Group, this podcast delves into conditions like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, chronic illnesses that can profoundly impact quality of life.
Hosted by paediatric gastroenterologists Dr Tracy Coelho and Dr Chris Bakewell, THE pIBD DIGEST serves as an informative educational resource for healthcare professionals while also offering valuable insights for patients and families affected by these conditions. Please note that the podcast is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. The views expressed are solely those of the speakers.
Bringing a unique literary element to each episode, Dr Tracy Coelho composes and recites original medical poetry, offering a fresh perspective on complex medical discussions.
Tune in for an engaging, informative, and thought-provoking journey through the world of paediatric inflammatory bowel disease!

In this episode of THE pIBD DIGEST, we venture into the ever-expanding world of advanced therapies in paediatric IBD with the brilliant Prof Amit Assa. From biologics to small molecules, we explore how the pIBD therapeutic toolbox is evolving, alongside newer concepts and treatment strategies that are reshaping clinical practice. Join us as we look beyond the familiar and explore the horizons of advanced therapy in paediatric IBD. We hope our discussion of advanced therapies leads to advanced wisdom rather than advanced confusion. If not, don't worry, Part 2 is already in induction and well on its way!
In this episode of PIBD DIGEST, we sit down with Dr Jorge Amil Dias, one of the key architects behind the ESPGHAN PORTO IBD Group, to reflect on a legacy that has helped shape paediatric IBD care across Europe. Like a fine glass of Porto's famous Port wine, the story of the PORTO Group has matured over decades, bringing together clinicians, researchers and patients in a shared vision to improve outcomes for children and young people living with IBD. In the second half, we turn our attention to one of the most important journeys in paediatric IBD: the transition from paediatric to adult care. Drawing on a lifetime of experience, Dr Amil Dias offers practical insights, wisdom and perspectives on how we can better support young people through this pivotal stage. So, pour yourself a coffee, or perhaps something inspired by Porto, and join us à conversa with one of the founding figures behind the PORTO IBD Group.
In this episode of THE pIBD DIGEST, we embark on an eosinophilic odyssey with Dr Marcus Auth, Consultant Paediatric Gastroenterologist at Alder Hey Children's Hospital, Liverpool, as we celebrate his many contributions to paediatric gastroenterology, particularly in the field of eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs). Marcus explores the diagnostic challenges of EGIDs and their uncanny ability to mimic inflammatory bowel disease. While retiring from his NHS role, Marcus continues his clinical and academic work, ensuring that the bright orange-coloured impostors, eosinophils, remain firmly under scrutiny. Expect plenty of eosinophil-inspired knowledge degranulation and a light-hearted finale with Dr Coelho's satirical tribute, The Eosinophilic Jibes.
In this episode of the PIBD Digest, we step outside our paediatric comfort zone to explore pregnancy in IBD. Adult gastroenterologist Dr Christian Selinger (Leeds) joins us to debunk common myths around fertility, conception, and pregnancy in people with IBD. We discuss pre-conception counselling, treatment strategies during pregnancy, and the importance of maintaining disease control, while sharing practical advice to empower clinicians—including paediatricians who may unexpectedly find themselves caring for a pregnant patient with IBD. Join us for an evidence-based discussion packed with practical tips, myth-busting, and reassurance.
In this episode of The PIBD Digest, we sit down for an exclusive enteral chat with Dr Konstantinos (Kostas) Gkikas, Lecturer in Nutritional Sciences at King's College London. Together, we separate dietary facts from dietary fiction, untangling the evidence—and the social media hype—behind the many diets that promise to tame IBD. From fibre to FODMAPs, IBS to IBD, and everything in between, we chew over the science so you don't have to. Grab a snack (IBD-friendly, of course) and join us for a digestible dose of nutritional wisdom.
