Considering Therapy and Support for IBS continued...

Another option is to attend a self-help group for people with IBS or other digestive disorders. Members of these groups know what it's like to live with IBS. Sometimes they can offer more meaningful support than you could get from even your closest friends.

"You are not alone in trying to handle it all," says Lynn Jacks, founder of an IBS support group in Summit, N.J.

There are support groups around the globe. Contact the International Foundation for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders at 888-964-2001 for referrals. Or tap into the web site of the IBS Self-Help and Support Group at http://www.ibsgroup.org/. You can also go to WebMD's Digestive Disorders Support Group, which is available 24 hours a day.
