Irritable Bowel Syndrome
(IBS)
This site contains facts, information and a personal experience of Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Where can I get information and support? Me of course: alan.mannering@btopenworld.com or from Canadian Society of Intestinal Research. A very good website with a comprehensive section on IBS www.badgut.com Irritable Bowel Information & Support Association of Australia. A well produced information site from Australia giving very clear information and offering membership www.ibis-australia.org The Gut Trust. A major British charity offering support, advice and self management on IBS. Issuer's of the "cant wait card schem" Membership available www.theguttrust.org Irritable Bowel Syndrome Association. A British non profit help  association for IBS sufferers founded in 1987. I approached this site with caution as it did seem to be heavily commercialised  http://www.ibsassociation.org An information page can also be found at Wikipedia by simply searching Wikipedia for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Personally, I found this disappointing and far too technical and lacking in purposeful detail. If you are a involved in a support group and you would like information about your group added to this page, please contact me alan.mannering@btopenworld.com I am always anxious to maintain up to the minute information and I would be pleased to receive all updates or amendments and would be more than happy to receive details of any resources which you found useful

HEALING  FOODS by Sandra Ramacher Seldom have I had the pleasure to reviewed a cook book that was researched and so well written for its intended purpose of providing healing and soothing food recipes for those with ailments like Irritable bowels, Crohns disease, Coeliac (Celiac) disease and colitis. This book is indeed a veritable treasure to all sufferers of these illnesses,furthermore the recipes are suitable for use by the whole family. All of Sandra's recipes are free of grains,gluten.sugar and lactos. Sandra's book is beautifully presented with some 250 pages of delicious recipes for the entire requirements of family eating from sweets, salads,main courses,soups and beverages etc. All of her recipes are written with clear English directions and are accompanied by tempting full page coloured photographs. For its modest price this cook book is a must and should be on the shelf of those with delicate digestions (Reviewed by  Alan Mannering)
