I think we need to have "Period" Support with a Gynecologist next! 😉 I'm dying to answer some period health questions!
Yesssss
Yes!
Yesss!
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.
Yes please 😘
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 doctors humor 🤣🤣
“Aren’t we all a little lactose intolerant?” “The answer is…. No, just you.” 😂
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!
I don’t know why people have to make things up on RUclips. You are a liar
You're a liar everyone basically said the same thing you do
This guy is so professional and has such a calm aura about him. Exactly what I would like my doctor to have.
Thanks Vishant!

The information is easily digestible, thanks!
😂😂😂
love it ! 🤣
Wow that's creative 😂
👉🏼🚪

Dr Iroku has nailed perfect balance of being fun and informative while remaining professional. Perfect for this series!
Thanks Kate!!
He won my respect when he said “gastroenterologist and digestive disease specialist” without stuttering-he’s too powerful
To be left alive
@@konigstiger3252Ayo?
I had a great time with these questions! Thanks WIRED 💚!!!
Thank you for teaching me what a fecal transplant is 😄
LOL! Every human in the world had the same reaction the first day they learned this exists 🤣🤔😱 ... even me!
Thank you for the great information. As someone who has digestive issues, it was very helpful.
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!
Seriously, how are these weird topics so engaging? Probably the professionals they feature, but this is a fantastic series.
He's so deadpanly humorous ("Just in case you're feeling comfortable..." "Rafael, we just met.") and yet also very informative.
@@harringt100 Agreed, he had a great sly sense of humor, so clever
Agreed!

I’d definitely say it’s the people. The right teacher can make anything interesting.
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.
This is so great and Fran Drescher asking a question makes it even better!
I had one of those short snort laughs when that came up
@@Tasoq Lol, you know you're having a good time when you snort laugh!
I screamed when I heard her name! I was like,nope this has to be a fan page but the blue tick was present…. I’m guessing he has never seen the nanny before. I would have been freaking out!
I think he had no idea, who she is? ^^ And is it just me or did he say "Fran Dreschler"?
@@johanneshalberstadt3663 Lmao I thought the same thing! in fact I was looking through the comments just to see if anyone else realized he had no clue who she was
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
It’s very likely that these people aren’t professionals and just showmen/women
@@Stellar-Cowboy lol no
@@iGaveLiaHIV yes it sure is. I’m not saying it’s the case, I’m saying it’s a possibility and none of us could realise it if it were true
@@Stellar-Cowboy you could say that about literally anything. You could be a bot. None of us know for sure. Stop wasting my time
@@Stellar-Cowboy Thanks DL and no William....I promise I'm real!! :)
6:34 “Raphael we just met” 😩😭 Hilarious and informative. Thank you Dr. Iroku!
Thanks Leina!
@@doctorugo2500 its the man himself! Ahoy there
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 ❤️
Eat natural drink only water
I'm premed and I really like how natural he is at explaining what I'm sure are far more complex topics
Faaaaaaaaaar more complicated! But you'll have to find that balance between precision and comprehension in medicine Jadooe!
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!
Crohn's here! it is nice to see recognition in this medical field which just isn't talked about that much. Hope you're doing well!
Digestive issues under the spotlight? Sounds like the business end of an endoscope...
@@NorthernSeaWitch nice one
Lymphocytic/Collagenous Colitis here, and I couldn't agree more.
Ulcerative Colitis here and YES!!! We IBD people never get enough LOVE!
This guy is like a very smart comedian doctor. You can tell his patients love to visit him. Cool guy
Thanks Broken!!!
@@doctorugo2500 I wish you were my gut guy!
Agreed
@@mfrenchcazenovia Thx Michelle!
@@RavensSoTired4081 Thank you!
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.
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.
That's the WebMD answer but it could also be stress.
Or endometriosis!
there are many many more likely causes than ovarian cancer
@@SkiingIsBelieving859 I didn't say there wasn't. I said it's a possibility if nothing else is making sense.
@@jlcollins14 i know but comments like that cause people to panic unnecessarily and aren’t helpful
This man needs his own show! He's so charismatic
Agreed! He is very good.
@@josephsharp5678 Thanks guys!
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.
Happy to hear that.
I love when the names are exactly what they sound like, like “grand mal”
Fecal transplants are amazing, glad it helped your dad!!
Uhm, please tell me the delivery system? Capsule?

@@troye.1309 🤣
I love his hand gesture whenever he wants to demonstrate the bowel movement. So smooth and delicate, I want my bowel movement to be like that too
I feel the same.
Good fiber
I wish he was my gastro, he's got the vibe that he's one of those doctors that immediately makes patients feel at ease
Are we going to ignore the fact that The Nanny is here asking the important gastrointestinal questions?
I was scrolling to see if anyone else caught on to that
This is the comment I came hunting for!
Yes!! Go Fran! I love her.
I was wondering why no one else was mentioning it! Fran is a legend
I was looking for this comment. Lol
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.
Yes! Why do I snore? Why do I dream?
@@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.
@@ShadowBunnyification that’s great to hear. Glad it’s made a difference.
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. 😆
Too kind b1!!!💚
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.
I have Crohn's and have had almost all my bowels surgically removed causing short bowel syndrome. Thank you for what you do doctor.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
wishing all the best for you!
I won’t pray for you, mate. What a pointless exercise.
But I will empathise as my girlfriend has it.
I have had short bowel syndrome since birth. I had a very large amount of my short and long interesting removed when I was born
@@Jamie_Winsh it's HORRIBLE. I'm on methadone for is, gave me my life back
This was the one I needed! Please have this gentleman come back for a round two. Also, so happy to hear Fran has good questions about GI stuff! 👏👏
Thanks Yupper!!!
Yeah I was shocked to hear her chime in and him have no idea. Especially considering she's the president of the screen actors guild right now...
I wish I could meet this doctor and discuss all my embarrassing problems regarding my gut! He seems so calm and collected ♥️
Thanks Nikkita!
Me too! I like his style and laid backness. Everyone has a butt. We need to be less embarrassed talking about things that can save your life!
Tell me
as someone with ibs and anxiety knowing my anxiety causes my ibs and vice versa is actually very calming
Would love to see a gynecologist!
I think they've had a few already. Though maybe focused more on obstetrics
If my memory is correct they already had MamaJones, an ob/gyn.
Make an appointment
I’m going to argue about the “typically takes food two to three days to digest” because… corn.
The word "typically" is typically used to as short hand for "Most of the time, but not always" :)
@@mimsydreams typically “shorthand” refers to shortened versions of words, including acronyms or abbreviations, but not simply descriptive definitions
Not even close, it's a day top
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
Corn takes 3 days to leave my body 😩 But I have ibs and shouldn't be eating it in the first place.
"just in case you were feeling comfortable" i love this guy😭
I WANT HIM AS A PROFESSOR. Great job explaining everything!
Same lol i literally just said that
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!
Thx Joanna!
How did you know that you had Ibs ?
The fact that my coworkers and I had a conversation about bowels and anxiety yesterday. This channel was listening to us lol
Your phone was listening to you
I just love this closeness you have w a coworker ahah
Actually Google was listening...
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!
Are we not going to talk about how Fran Drescher just randomly popped up as a questioner haha
Omg I was gonna say the same thing!!! I was wondering if anyone noticed !!! Lmao
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
A colonoscopy is so easy. I chose to have one early at 40 and it saved my life!
The colonoscopy is easy but the prep is a beast 😩🤢
@@joanna0988 Yeah it wasn’t as bad as I thought, but definitely worth it. Just funny everyone thinks it’s the actual procedure that is hardest!
@@shannond7437 Ya probably just the idea of anything going up your butt is terrifying 😂
@@joanna0988 Agreed! That stuff tasted like lime flavored battery acid!!!!
Now, you can do the prep with Miralax instead. It doesn’t have a flavor thankfully!
I would love to see a part two with this Dr! Never thought I'd be so interested in questions about gut health, but I was enthralled the entire time.
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
Yo, I needed this laugh. This guy informs and entertains in spectacular fashion. Thank you doctor, keep doing your thing.
Thanks Marques!
"Raphael we just met" absolutely killed me off, this guys is hilarious
We need more doctors like Dr. Ugo Iroku.
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.
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
More information and open-minded thoughtfulness than I’ve ever experienced with any other MD! Thank you @WIRED for posting this! Please keep these types of unbiased medical videos coming! 🎉
How many other MDs have you personally met?
This guy is professional but also likable with a sense of humor. We all need a doc like that.
This is so great! Informative and engaging. Well done, Dr. Ugo!
I wish Dr. Ugo Iroku was my lecturer 🥲
So detailed and passionate
Bot
Thx Katli!
“Doc, am I messed up or REALLY messed up?” ….. “Yes.” 😂😂😂
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!
I'm liking these videos, professionals answering questions about so many things that I wouldn't want to set up doc's appointment for. I mean, I know it's good to check with my doctor, but just finding out some right here is nice. :)
This guy is the shit....I'll see myself out.
You could be a gastroenterologist with that sense of humor!
OH MY GAWD....
Leave
Are you here all week?
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
This was packed with great info! Good questions, composed responses and a doctor with a great sense of humour!
Thanks Dr. Ugo and Wired...🙂
I hope you can do more of these, as a fellow physician these questions are also being asked by my patients
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 am SOOO impressed! Glad I don't need a GE but grateful that people like Dr. Ugo are out there for folks who do.
Thanks Lise!
Love that we got a Fran Drescher question answered too! Haha
Loved this Dr. As someone who's been having a lot of digestive issues recently, I would love a gastroenterologist like him!
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!
Thank god for doctors like these bc my GI is a mess, but also how can you bear to study this
My partner and I both have celiac disease, and likely some other issues, so this was fascinating! GI health information is really cool.
Great series and great interview! I feel like I would like to be this doctor’s friend. I have IBS and he explained everything so matter of fact. I’m sure he has a great bedside manner! Diet changes and mental health interventions have made my gut a lot healthier and me a lot happier!
This was a good one, Dr. Ugo speaks very well and give good info. Best series.
Thanks drbjr!!
What a fantastic presenter! Bring him back for a part 2 please!
Thank you for all you do for us folks with chronically unwell guts !! This was an excellent video
As a person with IBS , thank you for explaining this! Me overthinking too much really did activate my IBS.
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.
If this man ever wanted to be Surgeon General I would support him 100%.
You are a great explainer. Well done. I understand everything and this answer most of questions I have as well. Thank You Dr. Ugo.
Thanks za!
Dude thank you for this. I have IBS and Crohn's disease, plus I'm lactose sensitive but love milk and cheese so I deal with it lol so my stomach is always angry at me. Whenever I look something up it talks in terms I can not understand. So I really appreciate the easy to digest (aha aha. Ah..ha...) Way you spoke about it. Thank you.
I absolutely love this series! My favorite by far.

amazing job! Dr Iroku was amazing during this video!!
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!
I once had an ash white bowel movement. No bile what so ever. Freaked me out!
I have fatty liver disease and I have had a few ash white bowel movements. It has usually been after a few days of bad eating, especially around the holidays.
I haven't had one in a while. I'm really trying to eat better.
I wish all Doctors talked like this one. Explains everything clearly and honestly and treats every question with respect.
I really enjoyed and appreciate this. Thank you, my Brotha ✊🏽
The lactose intolerance thing is weird. I hit 20, and suddenly my body said NONONONOPLEASENO to dairy.
Out of curiosity, did you stop craving dairy or did it just suddenly become a problem?
@@rd6203 no I love dairy, my body just decided it's time tO STOP.
Imagine asking a doctor a really important "or" question and they answer with "yes" lmao
But the answer was absolutely correct. The only thing he could have said to be more accurate was 'yes and yes'
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
Loved Dr. Iroku, please bring him back for another guts support! :D
Thanks Ve'ronique!
Excellent !!! TY I wish all GI specialist were this informative. Hmm , actually all Doctors.
Absolutely hilarious and so informative. Thank you so much Dr Ugo! 😁
Please have him back! This was a wonderful episode!
Thanks Keep It!
Wonderfully insightful! Thanks Dr. Iroku
Thx TD!
Love this video speak so clearly, very professional and sweet, thanks for the knowledge 😊
Idk why is it so fun to watch plus it's knowledgeable... it would be helpful if WIRED could make a content like this with therapists..
Thanks Limited!!
I love Tech support, the people they find are absolute gems!! ❤️☺️
Thanks VJ!
I never thought learning about gut could be this pleasant and fun... I want to befriend Dr Ugo. Not all docs are this nice 👍
Bot
If you are not a bot, then THANKS!!
@@doctorugo2500 Not a bot just a fan :) Hope they invite you again soon
A normal delivery, thank you I really enjoy your information delivery.😁
Thank you for getting to the bottom of these people’s problem. Bless you!🤗
Pun intended?
Love this series need more
dude my face while hearing this. good think we've people like this fine man to save our rear. bring him back, so i can do more weird looks as i listen to him. this guy is legit 10/10
This was very fun to watch! Thanks doc!!
Loved the eye contact, almost like an actual convo w ur doctor
