We are a community of IBS Patients


A Support Group Community for IBS Patients
The IBS Patient Support Group community aims to bring patients together for discussion and advocacy support combined with evidenced-based medical information


IBS is common
It affects about twice as many women as men and is most often found first diagnosed in people younger than 45 years. No one knows the exact cause of IBS. IBS does not cause permanent harm to the intestines and it does not lead to a serious disease, such as cancer


IBS may be a lifelong condition
For some people, symptoms are disabling and interfere with work, travel, and social activities; however, most people can control their symptoms with diet, stress management, probiotics, and medication
