The activities of the IBS Self Help and Support Group's web site are supported solely by sponsorships. Our site offers sponsorship opportunities for quality companies offering patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals, appropriate help, services and products. IBSgroup.org is a member of the iVillage - Your Total Health Network. iVillage is a leading producer and distributor of consumer health and medical information on the Internet. iVillage, Inc., is an NBC-Universal company. All online sponsorship inquiries should be directed to the iVillage Online Team through our Contact form.

IBSgroup.org is also a member of the Google Content Network. Advertisers who are part of the Google AdWords network or are a Google Certified Ad Network may target specific ad locations on IBSgroup.org.

Sponsorship and affiliation do not dictate editorial content. There is no implied endorsement of any sponsored product advertised on/through the IBSGroup.org website. An advertisement is distinguished by the word "Advertisement". Some funding to develop content is provided in the form of an unrestricted educational grant or promotional grant, and is branded as such.

Clinical studies or clinical institutions who may not be eligible for sponsorship may be listed on our Research Studies or Links pages or on the IBS Webring.
