Survey: You can (and should) speak up about your IBS-C treatment

Have you ever felt uncomfortable talking with your healthcare provider about persistent IBS-C symptoms?

If so, you are not alone. In fact, research shows that many people don't tell their healthcare provider how they really feel. If could be because they don't want to disappoint their healthcare provider if they're not feeling as good as they think they should be. It could also be because they feel embarrassed to share details about their symptoms. Many people living with IBS-C don't bring up ongoing symptoms with their doctor - sometimes because they don't realize there may be other treatment options available. Sharing how you're really feeling with your doctor helps you work together to make the best decisions about your care.

So, make sure you speak up about your symptoms and ask about your treatment options to make sure you have all the information. Knowledge is power!

We've partnered with Ardelyx, Inc., a pharmaceutical manufacturer, to conduct this survey. You may have taken part in a similar survey last year, which was very helpful in shaping our understanding of life with IBS-C. This year's survey is different - it focuses on IBS-C treatments and how they impact patients. Participation is voluntary, and your responses will be shared with Ardelyx. They will be kept confidential and only reported in aggregate (never linked to you personally).
