18th February 2019

The IBS Network has announced the winners of its how to live well with IBS top tips competition.

The three winners have won tickets to the finale of Collabro’s UK tour at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Saturday 20 April 2019. With two runners up each receiving a Living Well with IBS pack that includes a Wellness Diary, Can’t Wait Card, Radar Key and a pack of coin wipes.

The winners of the Collabro competition are Margaret Whellams, Van Greaves and Louise Morris.

Their top tips included:

“Breathing, meditation, aerobic exercise, (for me also the outdoors and nature) and making enough time to switch off is the key.”

“Learn how to happily manage IBS, via the IBS Network and health professionals - you only get one lovely body!”

"Keep a record of everything that triggers you and if you stay regularly with family or friends give them a list of your triggers and be honest with them about your condition so they are able to be supportive."

The runners up were Claire Swankie and Alison Sheath who will receive a Living Well with IBS pack.

The IBS Network team shortlisted the top ten tips before putting the names of the finalists into a hat and drawing the winners at random.

Alison Reid, Chief Executive at the IBS Network, said: “We’ve had a fantastic response to the competition. Thank you to everyone who entered and shared their top tips, and congratulations to the winners. We hope they have an amazing time at the Collabro concert.”
