Dear ESNM Member
Looking back on the past year makes me proud, great to see what the ESNM community has reached and experienced together! Many thanks to all those people who supported the development of ESNM to become this great Society. Below, a few achievements are listed:
- NeuroGASTRO 2019 was held in beautiful Lisbon with an excellent scientific programme and participants from all around the globe enjoying this prosperous meeting
- this meeting was again an indication of how our 17 affiliated societies are working successfully together to highlight ESNM as the number one European representation of Neurogastroenterology and Motility!
- expansion of networking between young and experienced researchers and clinicians (TANDEM and Hands-on courses)
and support of 10 endorsed events in the field of neurogastroenterology - our continuously growing participation in different committees in the UEG and cooperation with our partner societies around the world (ANMS, ANGMA, AGA) highlights the importance of our topics
- ESNM sections (on education, gut microbiota and health media, meeting and research) have been very effective and contributed a lot to foster the development and visibility of the neurogastroenterology and motility in the field
ESNM is eagerly looking into a new year with great expectations, new scientific meetings (GMFH Summit in Spain, and FNM 2020 in Australia, hands on courses).
Certainly one of the most exciting aims in 2020 will be the election of the new president of ESNM. After eight extremely successful years it’s time for me to move on with new projects and to pass the baton to the next generation.
Giovanni Barbara, President ESNM

ESNM is inviting its members to submitting proposals for such papers. Submission is a competitive process and a pre-proposal needs to be submitted for their approval before being forwarded and reviewed by all the editors at the journal.

Could your pills be marking you ill? Interesting comment from Ger Clarke and Niall Hyland (Irish Society of Gastroenterology Neurogastroenterology representative) on the topic of how medication interacts with the microbiome. A new study, presented at UEG, has revealed that 18 commonly used drug categories extensively affect the bacteria living in the gut. Eight different categories of drugs were also found to increase antimicrobial resistance mechanisms in study participants.
