Irritable Bowel Syndrome

The Great Expectations® Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) program was developed to provide a better understanding about the causes and symptoms of IBS. We know that the effects of Irritable Bowel Syndrome can be overwhelming.

When you are enrolled in the program, you will get an initial packet with an informational brochure and a Symptom and Food Diary. In addition to understanding what Irritable Bowel Syndrome is, it is important that IBS sufferers identify specific causes that might trigger symptoms. Keeping a diary for a few weeks is the best way to do this. Take your diaries to your next doctor’s visit. Working together with your doctor, we believe you will be able to better manage your symptoms and ultimately improve your quality of life.
