IBS Awareness Month
April 2024
Irritable
Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common disorders of the digestive
system. It is often stigmatized and
misunderstood but the symptoms have a significant impact on the quality of life
for many people. IBS Awareness Month
falls in April each year with the aim of raising awareness of the condition and
encouraging frank and open conversations about toilet habits.
