The thirteenth annual national awareness month for irritable bowel syndrome is underway, with the International Foundation for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders planning a month of health messages through media outreach.

The IFFGD designated April as IBS awareness month back in 1997, to focus attention on diagnosis, treatment and quality of life issues for those affected by the disorder.

In a statement published on its website IFFGD said: “Awareness – year round – is essential to furthering support of research and improved care.”

IBS awareness month is listed on the US national health observances calendar.
