Help educate your irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patient and spread awareness with AGA’s free brochure "IBS: A Patient’s Guide to Living with Irritable Bowel Syndrome." According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, IBS is estimated to affect between 3% and 20% of the American population, making it one of the most common GI disorders diagnosed by physicians.
The brochure is designed to give IBS sufferers – and the general public – facts about IBS, a better understanding of the disorder, and a starting point for discussions with their physician.
The 10-page brochure covers a variety of topic areas, including:
• Living with IBS.
• Causes of IBS.
• Symptoms and diagnosis.
• IBS triggers.
• Treatment.
Also included in the brochure are a symptom tracker chart and a notes and patterns section. Physicians can order the brochure from the AGA free of charge. Brochures come prepackaged in sets of 25.
