If you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, The Gut Trust can help. We are a membership charity, so while you can get a lot of information for free from our website, by joining us you not only enable us to continue our work, but you also gain access to the following benefits:

• our quarterly members' journal, Gut Reaction
• our unique Self Management Programme, written by Professor Nick Read which takes you through your illness, explains its symptoms and causes, and tells you want you can do to help yourself manage your IBS
• a 'Can't Wait' card, helping you get access to a toilet in an emergency
• all 16 fact sheets from our growing series
• access to the members area of the website
• access to our local Self Help Groups
• opportunities for volunteering to support others

For the Gut Trust, our vision of "Living Life to the Full with IBS" means acknowledging the illness is incurable - but never losing sight of the fact that, with the right help and support, it can be managed.

As the UK's charity for Irritable Bowel Syndrome, we offer that help and support. Join us - benefit from the work we do, and help us bring that work to the many people with IBS in the UK.
