How to Receive CME and MOC Points

LIVE VIRTUAL GRAND ROUNDS WEBINAR

ACG will send a link to a CME & MOC evaluation to all attendees on the live webinar. 

ABIM Board Certified physicians need to complete their MOC activities by December 31, 2021 in order for the MOC points to count toward any MOC requirements that are due by the end of the year. No MOC credit may be awarded after March 1, 2022 for this activity. 

MOC QUESTION

If you plan to claim MOC Points for this activity, you will be asked to: Please list specific changes you will make in your

practice as a result of the information you received from this activity.

Include specific strategies or changes that you plan to implement.THESE ANSWERS WILL BE REVIEWED.

*Alarm features include age ≥50 years old, blood in stools, nocturnal symptoms, unintentional weight loss, change in symptoms, recent antibiotic use, andfamily history of organic GI disease.CBC, complete blood count; CRC, colorectal screening; CRP, C-reactive protein; SeHCAT, selenium homocholic acid taurine; Ttg, tissue transglutaninase.

• Fecal calprotectin or Lactoferrin & CRP

• IgA TtG ± quantitative IgA

• Rule out Giardiasis- if high risk factors exist

• Routine testing for parasitic infections not needed

• When colonoscopy performed, obtain random biopsies (Age 45 and up)

How Common Is BAD?

• Common, but frequently underdiagnosed cause of chronic diarrhea1

• Reported in 25‐38% of patients presenting with chronic diarrhea or IBS‐D2,3

• Higher prevalence in patients with history of terminal ileal disease resection, cholecystectomy, or abdominal radiotherapy1

Type Etiology

Type 1Terminal ileal disease (eg, CD, resection)Radiation injury resulting in impaired reabsorption of bile acids

Type 2 Idiopathic or primary

Type 3

(75%) than MGAM (only 25%)

Palatinase• Used to approximate isomaltase• SI responsible for most isomaltase activity

Lactase• Specific to lactose, but lactase deficiency can

be as high as 50% after 5 years of age

Sucrase • ≥85% specific to sucrose

Do carbs matter?

o Almost all dietary carbs become FODMAPs when proximal carb digestion and/or absorption is abnormal… 

• Lactose intolerance

• Carb intolerance secondary to celiac, cystic fibrosis, chemotherapy, etc.

• Congenital sucrase‐isomaltase deficiency – primary or genetic sugar/starch intolerance

o FODMAPs (undigested and fermented carbs) arriving to the colon from small bowel causing gas, bloating, and diarrhea

Courtesy of GIHF 

o Lactose Intolerance• But, lactose consumption is steadily declining1…

o Low FODMAP Diet (LFD)• Can be helpful in ~50% of IBS cases

• But LFD does NOT eliminate sucrose…

Enzyme Function via Disaccharidase Assay Is the Gold Standard for SID Diagnosis

• First biopsies

• 2‐3 biopsies obtained from distal duodenum/proximal jejunum

• Disaccharidase levels decreased by ≥33% in proximal duodenum 

• Place samples in empty eppendorf tube 

• Do not place tissue on gauze, filter paper, or use any type of support medium, not even saline 

Genetic test* – rule in, not out ‐ large gene, many SNPs not investigated. NOTE: The genetic test is not a validated diagnostic test for CSID

Assay measures activity of all four sugars: Lactase (lactose), Sucrase (Sucrose), Maltose and Palatanose (Starch sugars)

• Place eppendorf tube with collected sample immediately on ice (dry or wet ice)

• Freeze within 2 hours of collection at  ‐20° C to –70 ºC 

• Ship frozen on dry ice; forward to appropriate lab promptly on same day 

• Turn around time typically3 to 7 days

Diet plans for patients with SID should be developed in conjunction with a dietitian!!

Back to Our Patient• Endoscopy was normal‐ including biopsies for celiac dz

• Biopsies done for SID showed the following: 

• Low sucrase (<25 µM/min/g/prot)

• Maltase enzyme activity (<50 µM/min/g/prot)

• Normal lactase

• Treatment

• She first tried the Low FODMAP diet and had some relief. 

• Avoidance of sucrose containing foods helped the most‐with help of dietitian

• Peppermint oil for pain with fecal urgency

• Send for genetic testing for CSID‐+heterozygous mutation

Symptoms and signs of small intestinal dysmotility• CIPO is sporadic usually but can be familial (visceral myopathy, neuropathies)

• Idiopathic or due to systemic etiologies (60% cases are secondary):

• Neuropathic: DM, paraneoplastic, amyloidosis (myopathic too), Parkinson’sdisease, 

post‐viral infections

• Myopathic: eg Connective tissue diseases, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (α‐ actindeficiency in a subset)

• Mesenchymal (ICC abnormalities)

• Symptoms:

• Too slow: Gas, fullness, bloating, cramps, constipation or diarrhea

• Too Rapid: Gas, fullness, bloating, cramps and diarrhea

• History: Repeated imaging showing small bowel dilation often with air fluid levels.Patient may have had operations without a source of obstruction found is KEY

• Remember: Can have dysmotility and obstruction at same time!!!

Antroduodenal Manometry (Conventional) 

• Phase I: Absence of measurable phasic pressures‐low motor activity (3 pressure waves per 5‐10min) (40‐60%)

• Phase II: Random/irregular pressure waves

• Resembles fed pattern (20‐30%)

• Phase III: Large‐ amplitude propulsive contractions, coordinated and rhythmic propagating along the GI tract. 

• Few of the MMCs reach the ileum.

• The MMC lasts 90‐120 minutes

• Most begin in the stomach and travel at speed of 5 cm/min distally

• This is how we get rid of undigested products‐the intestinal housekeeper

Expert Guideline recommendations on SIBO

Quigley A, Murray J, Pimentel M AGA Clinical PracticeUpdate on SIBO.Expert Review AGA 2020

Best Practice Advice 1: Definition of SIBO lacks consistency and precision

Best Practice Advice 2: Symptoms: Bloating, Diarrhea, abdominal pain/discomfort and steatorrhea in severe cases

Best Practice Advice 3: Insufficient evidence to check any inflammatory markers in SIBO (Fcal)

Best Practice Advice 4: Lab findings such as elevated folate and less commonly B12 may be helpful

Best Practice Advice 5: Limited understanding of SIBO exists and inability to adequately sample

Best Practice Advice 6: Controversy regarding role of SIBO in functional GI diseases exists

Best Practice Advice 7: Management: correct underlying causes and administer antibiotics + nutritional deficiency correction

Results 

• Of 79 patients, 25 were affected by SIBO (31.6%) (by glucose BT) with a significant correlation with lower BMI, (p<0.05) and serum albumin levels (p<0.05) independently from pancreas insufficiency. 

• Eradication rate of SIBO was 9/10 (90%) in rifaximin group and 2/6 (33.3%) in control group (p<0.05). 

• In the rifaximin group, gastrointestinal symptom improvement was observed in 4/5 patients aged ‐ 14 years and in 0/5 patients aged[14 years (p<0.05); in 2/6 patients in the control group.
