The Gut Trust is a self-help organisation for people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) offering information, support and advice. The mission of The Gut Trust is to inform, support and educate those with IBS and their families and carers; to improve the quality of life of those with IBS and to raise public awareness of IBS and the issues surrounding this condition.

The Trust produces a quarterly journal, Gut Reaction, covering a wide variety of topics relating to IBS including articles by medical professionals, members' letters, and tips for management of the disease. Fact sheets are also available.

Their website contains lots of information including the 'Self Management Programme' which in 11 sections provides information about IBS and allows sufferers to live more comfortably with the condition.

Members also receive a Can't Wait membership card, have the opportunity to participate in research, join a media list and reviewing scheme. The Trust operates Befriender and Penpal schemes and co-ordinates local self help groups.

PS - Health and Poverty

Perhaps the biggest cause of ill health in the world is poverty. Help to Make Poverty History. For example, why not lend some of your money to disadvantaged communities to enable them to trade their way out of poverty through schemes such as Shared Interest.

See also MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY North East for details and links to campaigns against poverty.
