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.
