What your IBS support group should aim to do:

• Bring IBS sufferers together to share their experience in an open and non-judgmental environment.
• Educate and inform new members of the key aspects of IBS, what they can do to try and reduce their symptoms
• Your group should not aim to replace the services of a healthcare professional.
• Raise awareness of IBS and the charity 
• Raise funds and encourage local support

IBS is a complicated condition. Only by working together and with healthcare professionals can we look to improve our understanding and treatment of IBS.
