A Message from Jeffrey D. Roberts, MSEd, B.ScPresident and FounderIBS Self Help and Support GroupSeptember 2011It has been some time since we sent a newsletter to our members. In that time, it is now recognized that Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a truly global problem reportedly affecting millions of individuals (1 in 10) worldwide and exerting a significant influence on the quality of life both for the many reported and unreported ( 5 in 10) cases.The IBS Self Help and Support Group has grown considerably in the last few years with roughly 45,000 registered members and over 250,000 visitors who come to our website on a monthly basis. There is now a sizeble group on our Facebook Page resulting in positive support for each other in a different kind of social setting. We have several Twitter feeds. Our Twitter: ibsgroup feed provides snapshots of important news related to IBS. Twitter: irritablebowel is a sampling of postings from our community forums.In the spring of this year we launched several new initiatives. The first is that we separated our online support for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) from the IBSgroup.org website. The Inflammatory Bowel Disease Support Group has quickly become a trusted community for Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis and Digestive Health sufferers. If you ever have posted on the previous IBD forums on the IBSgroup.org forums then you will find that you are already pre-registered on the IBDsupport.org site. The IBDsupport.org forums are led by our very dedicated and knowledgeable Elizabeth Roberts, author of Living with IBD & IBS.Read the complete newsletter >>
