IBS Patient Support Group is an online community and information resource for people living with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), including those who are newly diagnosed or managing diarrhea-predominant and constipation-predominant symptoms. It brings patients together for discussion, shared experiences, and advocacy support, alongside evidence-based medical information designed to help people better understand and manage the condition.

The site offers educational content on IBS causes, diagnosis, symptoms, research, and treatment options. Topics include medications, medical foods, the low FODMAP diet and nutrition, probiotics, fecal microbiota transplant, cognitive behavioral therapy, gut-directed hypnotherapy, and digital therapeutics. Visitors can also find practical resources such as a FODMAP dietitian directory, books, videos, podcasts, and guidance on talking with a doctor.

Additional features include patient stories, information about women’s health issues related to IBS, curated medical news, clinical trial listings, and details about research participation. The community also highlights awareness events and provides resources intended to support patients in navigating care and daily life with IBS.
