Welcome!

Congratulations! You've found your way to the first, largest and liveliest community created specifically for IBS and Digestive Disease sufferers. We formed our charter in 1987 as a public education organization for IBS sufferers and launched our first website in 1995. We have more than 25 forums here dealing with everything related to Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Fibromyalgia, GERD, Living with Digestive Health Conditions and much, much more.

This forum is designed to help our new visitors navigate their way around our site and our discussion forums. Please feel free to post any questions in this forum you might have about our guidelines, forums or any of the information we have contained on our web site. You might be surprised how helpful members and our forum moderators are of each other! There is a forum at the bottom of the board specifically for technical problems or just to try out the board.
