Would you like to help researchers better understand IBS and its effect on your quality of life? If so, please read below for information on how you can help by participating in my master's thesis study being conducted at the University of Windsor.
My name is Sabrina Voci and I am a graduate student at the University of Windsor. My master's thesis project is exploring factors that may be related to quality of life and well-being among women with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). IBS is very common among women and because there are few effective treatment options, symptoms can negatively impact quality of life. It is my hope that my study will help gain a better understanding of factors that are associated with improved quality of life among women with IBS.
Participation in this study involves completing an online survey, found at www.uwindsor.ca/healthsurvey . Log in using the group username health and the password june2007.
As a token of appreciation for you help you will be invited to enter a draw for 1 of 5 gift certificates (25 CAD, 23 USD, 18 EUR, 12 GBP) for Amazon or Chapters Indigo bookstores.
For more information, please contact Sabrina Voci at health@uwindsor.ca or Dr. Ken Cramer at kcramer@uwindsor.ca. This research has been approved by the University of Windsor Research Ethics Board.
** Please pass on the survey website address to any women you know who are eligible for participation in this study **
Thank you for your help!

Has anyone figured this out? I just couldn't find how to get a username and password to take the survey.
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

I was happy to fill it out. It took less than 15 minutes(?) I didn't like the section on work. It was redundant and annoying. I think more could have been asked on the following section about the actual bowel issues. That is just my comment- no big deal!

I just wanted to note that there was a technical issue with signing back into the survey that has been resolved for anyone who might have started the survey and had trouble signing back in.
Still looking for more women to fill out my survey!

Oh good. I'll try again. I started it on Friday but then I had to do something at work and by the time I got back, my session had ended and I couldn't seem to get back to where I left off.

I urge everyone to do this survey. So very little attention has been given to IBS both in terms of research and education. Anything that we can do to change that, we should.
