April 19, 2023 is WORLD IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME (IBS) DAY!

IBS is a common gastrointestinal disorder.

IBS is not life-threatening but it causes bothersome, embarrassing and debilitating symptoms:

A: abdominal pain

B: bloating

C: constipation

D: diarrhea

IBS affects how contents move through the intestines, and how the brain interprets sensations that occur along the digestive tract.

IBS may be triggered by:

Medications
Surgery
Infection
Food Poisoning
Change in Diet
Bacterial Imbalances
Hormonal Imbalances
Neurotransmitter Imbalances
Travel

Join the annual IBS focused webinar on World IBS Day! Hear from the experts about IBS myths in symptoms and treatments, as well as IBS mimickers that need to be considered in the diagnostic process. The panel will also take time to consider the patient voice and their illness experience.
