Although I'm a bloke. That would be very good idea. I'm married with 3 daughters. So the more understanding I can get the more I can help and support my wife and my children.
Had the pleasure of working at the same practice as Dr Iroku during his time in NC. He truly is just as nice in person as he appears in this video. So nice to see a familiar face!
1:09 ‘No, just you’ actually got me🤣🤣 I love how they choose professionals with such great fun and easy going personalities❤️It makes science a little less nerdy
Thank you for explaining constipation. My sister just why I thought not pooping for 2 days was uncomfortable. I told her I normally go every morning and when I don't go my hemorrhoids don't like it! 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ Thanks again!
Thanks, this was very informative! Even though I’ve been going to GI since I was 3yo (Crohn’s, ulcers, etc) and have had many bowel resections & had an illeostemy bag for over a year, most of these I did know/have experienced, but even I learned things here I didn’t know. You explained the answers so well, making it easier to understand!
as someone who struggles with IBS, i absolutely love this man. i love his sense of humor and personality, it makes uncomfortable conversations at times so much easier and more open. BIG FAN OF THIS DOC ❤️
This Dr should train ALL new GIs. I had a horrible GI in a huge medical hub. He was physically annoyed every time I reported pain. Answer for everything - you have IBS. After about 2 months, I ended up in the ER with gall stones . Bedside matter does matter.
I love when they get people with uncommon medical professions (remembering the mortician.) They always seem to have a great (but slightly off) sense of humor yet seem like nice people. Please do a gynecologist next. I’ve got a few questions.
As someone with Ulcerative Colitis, I'm glad to see gastrointestinal issues being put on the spotlight. As well as a specialist educating people on this. Taking care of yourself before it becomes chronic is key!
As someone who has had surgery and stomach issues for half my life, your stomach can totally determine if you have a good day or a bad day. Take care of that thing. The happier your stomach, the happier you'll be
WIRED's Tech Support series is undeniably the greatest content on the internet. Experts "dumbing down" information just enough without making it seem like they're trying to explain things to children, while also being infinitely entertaining.
literally. i wrote an essay for my english composition class a few semesters ago about pros and cons of the internet and i used this series as a major part of the pros. easily accessible, entertaining, informative, and interesting content made for everyone.
Dude. I’ve literally gone to the drs every two weeks for the last 4 years due to gastrointestinal issues. He answered the question in the first minute that I’ve wondered about for years. Thanks doc!
My father in the end of his life was going through Chemo and went through C. Dificil five times before he got a fecal transplant and it fixed him right up. Thank God for that procedure because C. Dificil is horrible and ravaging.

Omg! I have ulcerative colitis, and I’m loving this video! I see my gastroenterologist often, and been in the hospital often for gut problems. It’s good to be educated about what’s going on inside your body
For the question on Bloating: Ladies if diet modification and exercise is not helping, talk to your OB/GYN as bloating, alongside other symptoms, can be an early sign of Ovarian Cancer. If you're not just bloating at your period, there could be an issue. If you're not familiar with Ovarian and Cervical cancer signs and symptoms, take some time to research and read articles. Take care.
This man seems to have all of the qualities you would want in your doctor: he's intelligent, he keeps up with current studies, he's calm, he's funny, and he's caring. Thank you for this info!
Annoyed they cut off his IBS/Anxiety question so short, especially when they showed part of the Twitter response. I think that is the most important question that got asked in here.
Dr. Iroku was so awesome! I never thought I'd watch a video on gut health and dynamics and have this much fun. I really appreciate how he explained things in a way that was easy to understand while still being engaging. If I ever need a doctor to look at my colon, this man is my first choice
Hey wired. We need more of these videos with other specialists. I’m a pulmonary, critical care, and sleep specialist. I’m always available for one of these videos. Just saying.
@@sedonarose7563 well, there are several reasons for snoring. Firstly, snoring is never normal. Snoring can happen acutely when you have a sinus infection or a throat infection when there’s inflammation and swelling in the airway. Chronic snoring can be a symptom of sleep apnea as well. About 8 out of 10 people with sleep apnea have symptoms of snoring. Your airway is narrow and the air rushing by causes vibrations similar to a flag whipping in the wind. Snoring is thought to inverse risk for strokes. Also if snoring is a symptom of sleep apnea then there is an even higher risk of stroke and other problems like atrial fibrillation. If you have poor sleep you should get a sleep study! Dreaming is normal. It’s part of the brain’s routine mechanism to consolidate memories and clear out unnecessary information.
@@TheWhyteRhyno77 thanks for the recommendation!!! I’ve been thinking about getting a sleep study for a couple years and putting it on the back burner. Thanks, doc!
My husband has sleep apnoea, last sleep study showed 60 events per hour. His CPAP machine changed our life and made us all much happier! I once got a decibel app and he got up to 88 decibels! Much more peaceful in our house now! Thanks for doing what you do and helping make lots of peaceful nights of sleep.
Guys, as a pharmacy student, the microbiom thing is everything! Super interesting and is also related to some psychological changes (as many studies show). Good subject to search!
Dr. Iroku you're a very good teacher 🙌 I have IBS since I was 10 (34 now) and have seen many doctors/specialists so I've heard a lot of advice and information but still learned a few things today. Thank you!
I didn't know we were getting 2 for the price of one. A gastroenterologist and a comedian. This guy is too funny! I learned a lot and had a good laugh. 😆
Doctor Iroku! Thank you! You answered so many of my questions and have provided me enough info to go over what is currently going on with me for my upcoming appointment with my doctor. Gotta say that your sense of funny really helped me just now to let go of a great deal of angst.
I wish my doctor was at least half as personable and knowledgeable as Dr. Iroku. His easy-going and fun personality would make the medicine go down easier.
I struggled with constipation a lot as a child; it's important to note that dairy is given to children almost daily in schools and that consuming dairy daily is not always a good thing. Consider if you've had milk or if your child is given milk and then adjust their food accordingly. Don't also give them yogurt and cheese sticks, substitute that with more fibrous food.
the people that i know that have IBS are really anxious about finding clean washrooms etc in public places so whenever i am with them i simply keep talking and keep their minds off it...works like a charm... the more they think about it the higher the chance of the IBS kicking in
It varies greatly between individuals, and also varies greatly with the same individuals. Different foods, hydration levels, health, physical activity, stress levels, sleep, etc etc - can all affect your digestion transit times! TMI ALERT! On my end... I'm more of a... 20-50H digestion cycle myself ahahaha
Just had my first colonoscopy about 2 weeks ago. Both my parents have IBD, and this video was a nice lighthearted way to talk about these tricky questions!
This was really interesting and informative! I honestly didn't expect to be interested in this topic, but this doctor is so good at explaining stuff and so engaging and interesting to listen to!
I had a Colonoscopy a few months back, was the most pain I have ever experienced in my life, felt like my bladder was going to explode. I recommend pain control and sedation if those are options as I wouldn't want anyone else having the experience I did.
@@PungeonMon I'm glad your experience wasn't too unpleasant, I watched the monitor for most of mine but nearly blacked out when the camera turned a corner. If I have it done again which is quite possible I will opt for sedation, I wouldn't want to experience that kind of pain again.
@@MelanieHC93 Partial sedation was an option, so was gas and air. I was told that it would not be that painful so I opted for no sedation, this was mainly because I had a dog to look after and also didn't really have anyone to look after me for 12 hours after which they recommend that I had. It was a horrible experience, 0/10 - would not do again :). This was in the UK btw.
Thank you so much for pointing out you can get symptoms of food poisoning almost instantly. I have heard so many doctors say that if you get sick today it's because you ate something bad yesterday 🙄🙄🙄
Have had that before! (Turns out I had celiac AND had become suddenly lactose intolerant!) My GI doctor had a good sense of humor about it, which helped
This man is obviously very smart; he doesn't take himself too seriously which we all love in a doctor. Very calm, great explanations, let's get him back again!
I had an infection in my gallbladder, and over a year the doctors said it was in the stomach, even two gastroenterologists. It was the most intense pain I've ever had in my entire life, and I feel it for a year. Finally I was lucky enough to find a gastroenterologist who asked for an ultrasound exam and there were the stones, so he had the surgery to remove.
1:00 For me, it actually takes as little as 6 hours for food to pass through my digestive tract. This is common in my family actually. We’ve all noticed that if we have corn for lunch, it’s out after dinner.
This guy is just wonderful, I like that sense of humor in a doctor. "Dr, what is wrong with me?" "Yes."
Thanks Pedro! A lot of us docs are "science teachers" at heart!
"Raphael, we just met!"
Are we all allergic to lactose? No, just you 💀
I'm sorry but something about his smile when he's talking about colonoscope is not right I would rather die then let him near my hoop
Omg

This man is obviously very smart; he doesn't take himself too seriously which we all love in a doctor. Very calm, great explanations, let's get him back again!
Thanks Aussie!
@@doctorugo2500 argh! Unexpected reply! I see you have a channel too. I've followed and look forward to more ed-poo-cation.
Wait was the real Fran Dresher "The Nanny" asking a question?
Yes!
And it was a clever question! I love Fran so much!
I read that question in her voice
I had an infection in my gallbladder, and over a year the doctors said it was in the stomach, even two gastroenterologists.
It was the most intense pain I've ever had in my entire life, and I feel it for a year. Finally I was lucky enough to find a gastroenterologist who asked for an ultrasound exam and there were the stones, so he had the surgery to remove.
Please have him back! This was a wonderful episode!
Thanks Keep It!
This was very fun to watch! Thanks doc!!
"He has a wife, you know. You know what her name is? Incontinentia. Incontinentia Buttocks."
This was packed with great info! Good questions, composed responses and a doctor with a great sense of humour!
Thanks Dr. Ugo and Wired...🙂
Ohmygosh was that the real Fran? I love the nanny!
I was wondering that too, or if it was a fake account. Love that show!
1:00 For me, it actually takes as little as 6 hours for food to pass through my digestive tract. This is common in my family actually. We’ve all noticed that if we have corn for lunch, it’s out after dinner.
Love that we got a Fran Drescher question answered too! Haha
I absolutely love this series! My favorite by far.
Dr. Iroku deserves a sequel!
0:55 tell that to the corn i had 4 hours ago.
