Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Resource
A collaborative study between JCU and QLD Health has developed and is currently trialing an online, self-directed therapeutic resource aimed at reducing symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and improving the participant’s quality of life. The resource is being offered to individuals who have a diagnosis or suspected diagnosis of IBS and have sought support for these symptoms via their GP.
The resource includes:
• Up-to-date information on IBS, the diagnostic process, the digestive system, why it appears, and how to go about improving your situation – plus more
•Skills to engage in more helpful behaviours and thoughts to improve symptom management
•Information about the role of mind-body link and stress, and how it is not just “in your head”
•Pick and choose subject areas that are most relevant to your situation
•Relaxation strategies
•Links to other resources
•All online in the privacy of your own home (or computer!)
•Participation is confidential
•No cost!
