Irritable Bowel Syndrome affects between 5 and 10% of people worldwide; however, many people are completely unaware that they even have it. There are ways to get involved, such as downloading the IBS toolkit, joining IFFGD to help raise awareness, and advocating for gut health.

Symptoms of IBS can include stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhoea and constipation. If you’re worried that you might be suffering with any or a number of these symptoms, then it’s important to get in touch with your GP and arrange a check-up.
