A support group for people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) will hold a meeting on Tuesday, September 26th at 6:30pm in the west conference room at Prairie Lakes Hospital.
The group works to educate those who are living with IBS and to increase awareness of the disorder. IBS is a functional bowel disorder characterized by recurrent abdominal pain and diarrhea, constipation, or a combination of both. There is no cure for IBS.
The September 26th meeting will include a presentation by our very own Doctor of Pharmacy Deidra VanGilder. Deidra practices pharmacy at Brown Clinic and is also an associate professor of pharmacy at SDSU. She will discuss and answer questions about the over-the-counter and prescription medications for management of IBS symptoms.
Attendees should sue the west hospital entrance for easy access. There is no advance registration and no cost. Everyone is welcome. To learn more, contact Bruce Ford at 880-5213.
Deidra is a great expert in this area–please join if you are affected by IBS and want to learn more!
