Irritable Bowel Syndrome Support Group Meetups


Posted Image

An IBS Support Group Meetup is an informal or formal gathering to help people:

- Find others in their area who share their interests
- Learn, teach, and share things
- Make friends and have fun
- Rise up, stand up, unite, and make a difference
- Be a part of something bigger; both locally and globally

Many of us go about our daily lives not knowing what is going on in our area or the people who live around us. Meetups dispel that isolation by bringing people together online and, more importantly, in the real world. That real world interaction/connection strengthens communities.

When a Meetup is cohesive, compelling, and effective, it ceases to be a collection of members and becomes a whole until itself. That entity, that Meetup, enriches the community in which it exists.

The facilitator of a Meetup is not a professional such as a psychologist, social worker, or a physician but a person who also suffers from IBS. Meetup's are based on the idea that talking about our problems improves our health and quality of life.

We list the current Support Group Meetups on our links page.

You may also use Meetup©, or post a note below, to locate or start a Meetup in your area.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of any IBS support groups that meet in Victoria. I know they have some in Vancouver but I'm on Vancouver Island and that's a really long way to go, no ferry rides (or food) for me thanks. Posted Image

Wow, Some good news for a change. I live in Victoria, have been dealing with IBS for about 7 months now. Went away for a couple months, now back. frustrating. Anyhow, good to see others with the same problem.

Hi Ian,

I'm from Victoria as well. Lynn and I both share(d) the same solution for D for years--she has recently discovered a wheat allergy that has allowed her to discontinue all other treatments--but if you want to get together some time this month, send me a PM or leave a response here. I'm on Winter Break a from UVic starting next Wed.

Cheers.

Mar

I would be interested in talking with anyone who has experience specifically related to IBS-D with anxiety triggers (traveling/making plans/fight or flight). FYI - I've been dealing with IBS for almost 25 years.
