IBS Tales Disclaimer

All of the personal stories on IBS Tales have been provided by individual IBS sufferers. The articles and information about IBS have been written by the webmaster, Sophie Lee, an IBS sufferer for many years. None of the information on IBS Tales has been written or verified by a doctor, and is not intended to provide medical advice or to be a substitute for your own medical practitioners.

It is vital that you have your symptoms diagnosed as IBS, as there are many other conditions which can mimic IBS and which will need different forms of treatment. You should never self-diagnose a condition from information found on the internet, and you should not try out any self-help methods suggested by other IBS sufferers without checking with your doctor first.
