Welcome to Day 3 of !

First, a few photos from last night's Conference Dinner, which was kindly sponsored by The Hospital Research Foundation Group

Entering the new era of multimodal GI imaging with Dylan Bartholomeusz and Patrick Hughes at

Always wanted to know what happens to colorectal pain perception, colonic motility and the ENS when you remove spinal sensory ganglia? co-chair Nick Spencer tells us about his new approach to decode the gut-spinal-brain axis.

Gut feeling itchy? President of ANGMA and co-chair of Prof. Brierley explains why during the fascinating session on visceral pain and new molecular targets.
With Stephan Vanner, Nicole Lai and Anthony Johnson

One highlight of has been catching up during poster and exhibitor lunch breaks. Make sure to check out the 200+ posters on the FNM2020 Virtual platform where you can also interact with authors (online) via the comments dialogue box.

Thank you, Peter Gibson, for enlightening us on personalising FODMAP diet strategies for Irritable Bowel Syndrome and managing the risks involved Monash FODMAP

Day 2 exhibitor showcase highlighting MEDIFACTIA TRANSIT-PELLETS® RADIOPAQUE MARKERS

WOW! what an informative and comprehensive symposium on FGID! Lin Chang, Guy Boeckxstaens and Nathalie Vergnolle. Kicked off by Nick Talley bringing us up-to-date on using appropriate clinical classifications to inform management strategies and to develop new directions of assessing such complex disorders.

Welcome to Day 2 of FNM2020!

The future of GI and neurogastroenterology research is in safe hands going by some of the highlighted presentations from the Little Brain Big Brain 2020 meeting.

This morning, Alyce Martin presented recent findings on the bidirectional relationship between gut microbiome and serotonin and Heidi Staudacher convinced us that dietary approaches for IBS are the way to go!

Thanks Prof. John Furness for a fascinating plenary on the evolution of the ENS and digestion! From paramecium to koalas to humans, shaped by evolution in food preparation, bite forces, grains and milk additions in the diet and the relevantly recent 5-6 decades of nutrition induced ENS neuropathies.

Great attendance to Prof. Robin Spiller's virtual plenary on diet strategies to treat Functional Bowel Disorders

Thanks Amy Loughman for a lovely overview of the science supporting how the gut microbiome affects stress, mood and sleep and how it can be targeted for personalised strategies to improve mental health. We are convinced that the gut holds the key!

ENS circuity and function: What a stunning collection of talks highlighting the breadth of advanced approaches being used to unravel the complex connectivity of the ENS in health and disease led by the pioneer Prof. Marcello Costa!

Great interest in the Endotherepeutics showcase this morning at

Welcome back to Day 1 sessions of !

A great morning session has begun, with talks by four speakers in our main conference hall:

- Predicting how tailored diet interventions modulate gut microbiota with Andrew Holmes
- Characterising gut-brain pathways controlling eating patterns and how they change in obesity and influenced by shift work with Amanda Page
- Clinical translation with Andres Acosta – perspectives on personalised approaches to obesity, and
- Michael Talbot's stunning manometric demonstrations of motility changes post Bariatric Surgery

Thank you to for sponsoring the opening night dinner for . Wonderful night had by all. Wishing more of our international colleagues could be here too.

FNM2020 Thanks . Provocative research linking developmental plasticity in the brain with microbiome plasticity. Good news story: our microbiome is modifiable.

FNM2020 Thank you Felice Jacka! Such vital research and community engagement linking diet to mental health and the role of the microbiome. Improving and saving lives!
