Topic context

Understanding ibs

Irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, causes stomach pain, bloating and changes in bowel habits that can last for years. Tests usually show no visible damage in the gut, so many people feel they are not believed, and many find that symptoms get worse at stressful times.

Why it helps

How peer support helps with ibs

Peer support can help with IBS because anxiety and low mood are common alongside it, and feeling alone with symptoms adds to the strain. A group is a place to talk about that pressure and hear how others handle daily life.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an online IBS support group?

ShareWell does not have one for IBS alone. You can join groups for people with long-term health conditions of all kinds, and the breathwork and mindfulness sessions on this page are open to you as well.

Can stress relief sessions help?

Many members find calming sessions useful for stress in general. They are not a treatment for IBS, so please follow your doctor’s advice about care.

Do I need a diagnosis to join?

No. You do not have to show a diagnosis to take part in a group. If you have bowel symptoms that have not been checked, please see a doctor.

Where can I find medical information about IBS?

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (niddk.nih.gov) has a plain-language guide to irritable bowel syndrome.
