IBS can be a very lonely condition. Many people find themselves suffering in silence, particularly those who experience a lack of understanding from those around them.

It can be a great help to know you are not alone and learn from other people's experiences. That's why we want you to tell us your story. Whether it is about when you were diagnosed with the condition or tips on how you keep your symptoms under control, tell us about it so we can use your experience to help others realise they are not on their own.
