Terry Dorcen Bolin OAM (1935–2022) was an Australian gastroenterologist. Bolin founded the Gut Foundation in 1983. [1] [2]
In 1982, Bolin rejected Barry Marshall's abstract proposing that the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) caused duodenal ulcers. [2] Marshall's abstract, which would eventually earn him a Nobel Prize, was submitted for presenting at a Gastroenterological Society of Australia meeting. [2] [3] Bolin, then Secretary of the Society, later likened himself to a manager who had turned down the Beatles. [2]
H. pylori would go on to become one of Bolin's luminal gastroenterology clinical and research interests, which included acid reflux, malabsorption, colorectal cancer. [1]
Bolin's 1995 book 'Wind Breaks: Coming To Terms With Flatulence,' co-authored with nutritionist Rosemary Stanton, was reviewed internationally. [4] [5]
In 2018, Bolin was awarded the medal of the Order of Australia for "service to medicine in the field of gastroenterology." [6]
