IBS AWARENESS MONTH

Apr 1

The month of April is dedicated to increasing awareness of Irritable Bowel Syndrome which affects the lives of many persons. Throughout this month I will be sharing more information on this condition on Linkedin, Instagram, Facebook.

Let’s start with some stats, credit to CDHF:
-Canada has the highest prevalence of people with #IBS (irritable bowel syndrome
-Estimated 18% of Canadians vs 11% people Globally
-Affects more women than men 2:1
-70%+ people state that symptoms interfere with their everyday life
-46% miss work or school
-54% of people with IBS report fatigue
-40%-60% experience psychological symptoms -anxiety/depress

On average, IBS patients reported they would give up 25% of their remaining life (15 years) to live a symptom-free life.
On average, it takes 4 years for an individual to receive a definitive diagnosis of IBS.

Increase your awareness for your self, loved ones and colleagues by checking in with me and learning about IBS, what is it, what are the symptoms, what affects it and how it can be managed.

Marica Gaspic

Living with IBS can quietly take over your life — not just through pain and bloating, but through the constant uncertainty, loss of confidence, and fear of not being able to trust your own body.

I help high-performing women with IBS move from symptom-chasing to true physiological stability — by understanding IBS as what modern gastroenterology defines it to be: a disorder of gut–brain interaction involving the nervous system, microbiome, immune function, and stress physiology.

As a pharmacist and gut health coach — and as someone who has personally lived with IBS — I bring both clinical expertise and lived understanding to the work we do together. My clients don’t just “manage” IBS. They rebuild trust in their body, regain energy and confidence, and create a sustainable system of support that fits their real life.

This is not about restriction or short-term fixes.

It’s about building a body that finally makes sense.
