Hi. I am new in posting to this board, but I am not new to the IBS community. Some of you know me from other sites. Heather gave me permission to post this here. Thank you, Heather, for your interest and help in spreading the word.

People with IBS from any country who are interested in self-advocacy and awareness issues are invited to join a fairly new Yahoo group called IBS Impact that was started by people with IBS. This is not a forum for general information, treatment advice or emotional support. There are already many good ones, including Help for IBS. IBS Impact is more about encouraging people with IBS to speak out and take concrete actions toward greater public awareness, better treatments and services, research funding or whatever other interests and issues may arise. Supportive family members, friends and professionals without IBS who support our self- advocacy goals are also welcome.
IBS Impact is not affiliated with any existing organization or group, but we welcome constructive collaboration and encourage members to continue to use and support any other resources of their own choice.
To give members some privacy and reduce spam, hoaxes and trolls selling miracle cures, IBS Impact is what Yahoo calls a "restricted" group. Posts are not visible on the Internet to non-members. In order to join, you must be willing to provide some basic identifying information to the listowner: your real name, email, general location, connection to IBS and how you heard of IBS Impact. This information will not be shared without your consent, but since IBS Impact is an advocacy group, you will be encouraged to introduce yourself and network with other members.
Hope to see you there.
