Self-Management Plan

The Gut Trust's Self Management Programme is the only comprehensive interactive programme for the managment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome available in the UK. It consists of eleven modules that have been adapted for individual study and is supported by a range of fact sheets which means the programme can also be used as a resource for Self Help Groups.

Navigating around The Self Management Programme couldn't be easier, we've laid it out as modules that are divided into units. Each module deals with a specific subject about Irritable Bowel Syndrome and each unit explains the module in more depth.

Accompanying the modules is our growing series of fact sheets which give more information ranging from the symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome to how to care for children with IBS.

If there are any terms you don't understand in either the Self Management Programme or the fact sheets, we've also provided a glossary to explain them in more detail.

The Self Management Programme was compiled and written on behalf of The Gut Trust by Professor Nick Read.
