Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS is the name doctors use to describe a collection of otherwise unexplained symptoms relating to a disturbance in the bowels. These include abdominal pain, bloating, constipation and diarrhoea. At any one time, IBS affects around 10-20% of people living in the UK. I am an expert advisor to the IBS network and specialise in helping people manage and regain control of their symptoms.
