#CGH4ALL @AGA_CGH IBS, Functional diarrhea, and Chronic constipation are conditions that are not equally distributed across sexual orientation groups Data suggest important differences among men This is, of course, only a retrospective cross-sectional database (with its own flaws), and much more needs to be learned about psychosocial aspects regarding this finding. Are gay men more willing to disclose GI functional disorders than straight men, for example? Is there a linkage with rates of depression and anxiety? What would be the best way forward to learn from this exploratory analysis? Topics like these need to be handled carefully, especially when disclosed as "newsworthy," lest they communicate a wrong (and potentially harmful) message. I invite an open and sincere conversation about this paper, and thank you. doi.org/10.1016/j.cgh.2025.0… Reported by @arianapg @KerbageAnthony @AnthonyLemboMD @ScottGabbardMD @DrSarahBallou @CRamprasadMD @GIJANE_MD @DrPhil_Gu @DrSamirAShah1 @NehaSantucciMD @MaisamHaijaMD @PLLU @LinChangMD @VictorChedidMD @doctornikkid @clivejmiranda @Chris_Velez_MD @KiraNewmanMDPhD @swatigp @RainbowinGastro @rebelliousgut
