Dr. King’s Hands On Techniques (HOT) Sphincter of Oddi Massage Technique The sphincter of Oddi is a ring-like muscle that regulates the flow of bile and pancreatic enzymes into the intestine. A constricted flow of digestive fluids through the sphincter of Oddi causes a broad spectrum of problems, including incomplete digestion, bloating, gas, fatigue and cramping. More serious problems associated with enzyme deficiency include arthritis and even cancer. Massage the sphincter of Oddi to improve your internal health. 1. To locate the sphincter of Oddi, go three finger-widths up from your belly button, and two finger-widths to Right Hepatic Duct the right of your midline. 2. Press your fingers an inch or two into your gut. Move your fingers in different directions until you feel a tender area about the size of the tip of your Liver Left Hepatic Duct little finger. Hold a comfortable pressure over the tender sphincter for 30 seconds. You may hear it Common Hepatic Duct gurgle as the sphincter of Oddi tension is released. Common Bile Duct Repeat until you hear no more gurgles. 3. Next, press sphincter to your right and hold for 30 seconds. Repeat until you hear no more gurgles. Sphincter of Oddi Pancreas 4. Alternately, press it to the right and slightly up, or to the right and slightly down. Repeat until you Pancreatic Duct hear no more gurgles. Repeat as often as needed. WHAT’S SO AMAZING ABOUT the SPHINCTER OF ODDI MASSAGE TECHNIQUE? When functioning normally, the sphincter of Oddi allows the digestive fluids from the liver, gall bladder and pancreas to do their wonder-working magic on your food. That in turn causes healthy enzymes to circulate throughout your body like happy little custodians, cleaning up your internal functions and preparing them for healthy service. A cramped, constricted sphincter of Oddi drastically reduces the flow of healthy enzymes. You could buy enzyme supplements in capsule form at the store, but they wouldn’t be nearly as effective as those that flow naturally through the sphincter of Oddi. Allow your sphincter of Oddi to liberate your digestive health with this powerful HOT technique.

Sphincter of Oddi: ERCP Plus Sphincterotomy – Yes Or No
Sphincter of Oddi: ERCP Plus Sphincterotomy – Yes or No Note: For debate purposes, the pro and con positions for patient management will be taken by the invited authors. However, actual decisions regarding patient care must involve discussion of the risks and benefits of each treatment considered. Case Presentation – Case developed by Ihab I. El Hajj, MD, MPH, Indiana University, Indianapolis, IN A 57-year-old Caucasian female with history of smoking and COPD, was in her usual state of health until two years ago, when she experienced recurrent “attacks” of right upper quadrant pain, nausea and occasional vomiting, suggestive of biliary colic. The patient was evaluated by her primary care physician and initial work- up, which included basic blood work, liver chemistries and transabdominal ultrasound, were negative. The patient responded partially to prn Zofran and omeprazole 40 mg once then twice daily. With the persistence of her symptoms, the patient was referred to a gastroenterologist. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) with gastric biopsies revealed chronic inactive gastritis without Helicobacter pylori. HIDA scan suggested biliary dyskinesia with an ejection fraction of 22%. An elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. An intra- operative cholangiogram showed no filling defect in the common bile duct (CBD) and pathology demonstrated chronic cholecystitis with no gallstones. The patient was symptom-free for six months after surgery. She subsequently developed vague upper abdominal pain, intermittent nausea and irregular bowel movements. Labs, colonoscopy and repeat EGD were ASGE Leading Edge — Volume 4, No. 4 © American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy normal. The patient was treated for suspected irritable bowel syndrome. She failed several medications including hyoscyamine, dicyclomine, amitriptyline, sucralfate, and GI cocktail.

Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction: Introduction
Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction: Introduction Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction refers to structural or functional disorders involving the biliary sphincter that may result in impedance of bile and pancreatic juice flow. Up to 20% of patients with continued pain after cholecystectomy and 10–20% of patients with idiopathic recurrent pancreatitis may suffer from sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. This condition is more prevalent among middle-aged women for unclear reasons Figure 1. Location of the sphincter of Oddi in the body. What is Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction? The sphincter of Oddi has three major functions: 1) regulation of bile and pancreatic flow into the duodenum, 2) diversion of hepatic bile into the gallbladder, and 3) the prevention of reflux of duodenal contents into the pancreaticobiliary tract. With the ingestion of a meal, the gallbladder contracts and there is a simultaneous decrease in the resistance in the sphincter of Oddi zone. The sphincter of Oddi consists of circular and longitudinal smooth muscle fibers surrounding a variable length of the distal bile and pancreatic duct. There are three discrete areas of muscle thickness, or mini sphincters: the sphincter papillae, the sphincter pancreaticus, and the sphincter choledochus (Figure 2). Figure 2. Mini sphincters, or discrete areas of muscle, comprise the sphincter of Oddi. The major physiologic role of the sphincter is the regulation of the flow of bile and pancreatic juice. Cholecystokinin (CCK) and nitrates decrease the resistance offered by the sphincter. Laboratory studies observing the effects of numerous peptides, hormones, and medications on the sphincter have suggested a multifactor control mechanism for the sphincter of Oddi.

Pandol1* 1 Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA, USA, 2 Clinical Dynamix, Wilmington, NC, USA, 3 University of South Alabama, Mobile, AL, USA The sphincter of Oddi (SO) is a smooth muscle valve regulating the flow of biliary and pancreatic secretions into the duodenum, initially described in 1887 by the Italian anato- mist, Ruggero Oddi. SO dysfunction (SOD) is a broad term referring to numerous biliary, pancreatic, and hepatic disorders resulting from spasms, strictures, and relaxation of this valve at inappropriate times. This review brings attention to various factors that may increase the risk of SOD, including but not limited to: cholecystectomy, opiates, and alcohol. Lack of proper recognition and treatment of SOD may be associated with clin- ical events, including pancreatitis and biliary symptoms with hepatic enzyme elevation. Pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic approaches are discussed to help recognize, prevent, and treat SOD. Future studies are needed to assess the treatment benefit of agents such as calcium-channel blockers, glyceryl trinitrate, or tricyclic antidepressants Edited by: Peter Hegyi, in patients with SOD.

2015 AACA Annual Meeting Program
June 9 – 12, 2015 | Henderson, Nevada President’s Report June 9-12, 2015 Green Valley Ranch Resort & Casino Henderson, NV Another year has quickly passed and I have been asked to summarize achievements/threats to the Association for our meeting program booklet. Much of this will be recanted in my introductory message on the opening day of the meeting in Henderson. As President, I am representing Council in recognizing the work of those individuals not already recognized in our standing committee reports that you will find in this program. One of our most active ad hoc committees has been the one looking into creating an endowment for the association through member and vendor sponsorships. Our past president, Anne Agur, has chaired this committee and deserves accolades for having the committee work hard and produce the materials you have either already seen, or will be introduced to in Henderson. The format was based on that used by many clinical organizations. It allows support at many different levels, the financial income from which is being invested for student awards and travel stipends. Our ambitious 5 year goal is $100,000. I hope that you will join me in thinking seriously about supporting this initiative - at whichever level you feel comfortable with. Every dollar goes to the endowment. In October, Council ratified the creation of our new standing committee - Brand Promotion and Outreach. This committee was formed by fusing the two ad hoc committees struck by Anne Agur when she was President. Last year our new branding was highly visible in Orlando and we want to use this momentum to continue raising the profile of the Association at many different types of events within and outside North America.

JOP. J Pancreas (Online) 2014 Nov 28; 15(6): 552-560 REVIEW ARTICLE Chronic Metabolic Acidosis Destroys Pancreas Peter Melamed and Felix Melamed Biotherapy Clinic of San Francisco, USA ABSTRACT One primary reason for the current epidemic of digestive disorders might be chronic metabolic acidosis, which is extremely common in the modern population. Chronic metabolic acidosis primarily affects two alkaline digestive glands, the liver, and the pancreas, which produce alkaline bile and pancreatic juice with a large amount of bicarbonate. Even small acidic alterations in the bile and pancreatic juice pH can lead to serious biochemical/biomechanical changes. The pancreatic digestive enzymes require an alkaline milieu for proper function, antimicrobial activity, which can lead to intestinal dysbiosis. Lowering the pH of the pancreatic juice can cause premature activation of the proteasesand lowering inside the the pH pancreas disables withtheir theactivity. potential It can development be the primary of pancreatitis. cause of indigestion.
