We asked 1,000 Australians with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) to tell us their stories and experiences with IBS. We wanted to go beyond just their symptoms and bring awareness to the often hidden impacts of IBS. We asked them questions that covered how Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) impacts their quality of life including their mental health, social lives, relationships and how they feel about the future managing their symptoms. We hope that by sharing our findings - and their stories – that it helps other IBS sufferers and those in their support network to better understand their condition.

The results of this survey highlight the importance of managing symptoms and occasional flare ups in improving the quality of life for IBS sufferers. ​

As part of this, access to affordable and effective over-the-counter relief is key.​

SilicolGel works differently from many over-the-counter IBS relief products and relieves all the most common symptoms of IBS including diarrhoea, flatulence, nausea, abdominal pain and bowel discomfort.
