Thought i'd share this....

**This isn't spam and I'm not trying to advertise anything...just trying to help**

'The Gut Trust' (Used to be called IBS Network) is the UK's only comprehensive support network for the self management of IBS.

I'm a member and can recommend them. It costs £24 per year to join and all of that goes into the research and support for IBS sufferers. It helps me to think that I am part of a support network and will get the best info I can on IBS.

When you join, you get loads of benefits:

* Quarterly members newsletter
* Online and by phone self management programme
* Fact Sheets
* 'Can't Wait' card (you give this to shop workers to save the embarrassment of asking to use their loo...some make you buy something first, but when I have shown this card, they say ok.
* Phone helpline
* Treatment/Drug reviews
* List of local self help groups
* Recipe archive
* list of friends/penfriends
* Books and CDs

I think it's well worth the money, and by joining you are giving the charity money to research IBS..and we all know more research is needed.
