[The Gut Trust]
The national charity for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Welcome to The Gut Trust, we’re the national charity for people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome in the United Kingdom. We support people like you, who are coping day to day with IBS; a condition that is misunderstood, often stigmatised and which can chronically affect your everyday life.
We support people with IBS in many ways: we offer a free telephone helpline staffed by specialist nurses; we provide factsheets, online support, toilet access cards, as well as a quarterly journal, internet forums and our unique Self Management programme to help you live life to the full with IBS.
We work in the public arena, raising the profile of people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome through advertising and media appearances, as well as providing advocacy for people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome at a national level, within government, the National Health Service and the medical profession.
Sign our petition to Downing Street for the provision of better public toilets and facilities in the UK today, every signature counts!
