From bowel habits to bad gut feelings

What should you make of bloating, constipation or that uneasy feeling in your stomach? Duke-NUS Alum Dr Tan Yu Bin takes us inside the gastroenterology clinic and explains what your gut may be trying to tell you. 

By Brandon Raeburn, Media and Content Specialist

Duke-NUS alum Dr Tan Yu Bin joined MEDICUS — the Podcast to talk about gut health, what happens in the gastroenterology clinic and when it may be time to seek help.

Bloating, constipation, stomach discomfort, or an uneasy feeling you cannot quite explain, our gut often sends signals long before we decide to pay attention. In this episode, Duke-NUS alum Dr Tan Yu Bin from Class of 2018, now an Associate Consultant in the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Singapore General Hospital, helps us make sense of common gut symptoms, demystifies what happens in the gastroenterology clinic, and shares practical tips for better gut health.

Tune in for a candid and accessible conversation about a topic many of us experience, but do not talk about openly.    

 

Highlights from the conversation include:

  • Why gut health matters more than many of us realise
  • When gut discomfort may be a sign to seek medical advice
  • What really happens in the gastroenterology clinic
  • Yu Bin’s journey into gastroenterology, and how he hopes to inspire the future gut specialists
  • How AI could help improve the future of gut care
