Gastrointestinal Disorders
Gastrointestinal disorders affect mass amounts of people, according to the International Foundation for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders. In fact, they tell us that as many as 10% to 15% of people live with irritable bowel syndrome - and that's just one of many disorders that exist. Here are some great resources on a variety of conditions.

ChronicBabe is honored to have received an inspiring award: the IBS Tales "Hope Award."
The awards are presented to Web sites that offer positive support and encouragement to anyone suffering from a chronic medical problem. In particular, they recognize websites that: offer accurate information and resources for patients;encourage sufferers to search for new treatments and hope; and refuse to accept inadequate medical advice and doctors who tell us to "learn to live with it"!
We are thrilled to accept this honor and hope to continue to be a valuable resource for so many women (and men).
