Links to recommended advice
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common condition that affects the digestive system. It causes problems such as stomach cramps, diarrhoea, constipation and bloating. Symptoms can come and go but it is usually a lifelong problem.
Because there is no cure for IBS, it is important to do what you can to look after yourself and manage your symptoms.
The NHS has general advice on how to relieve symptoms.
The IBS Network gives advice on many aspects of living with IBS and what you can do to help, including:
- what to eat and drink
- managing stress
- treatment with medicines
- their self-care programme.
