The Impact of IBS on a Patient's Quality of Life 

The chronic nature of IBS inevitably poses a significant burden to the patients due to the long-term need to manage the symptoms of this disorder. As there is also no cure for IBS, and no single treatment is currently effective at alleviating symptoms, their quality of life is negatively impacted. This podcast features an IBS patient who discusses what it is like living with IBS. She talked about her symptoms, treatments and the state of her pschological wellbeing since the onset of her condition.
