In 1997, the International Foundation for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders designated April as IBS Awareness Month.

During this time, the nation is encouraged to focus their attention on a number of health messages surrounding digestive problems and the importance of seeking treatment.

Here at Nutritionist Resource we wanted to create an infographic that brought the key facts and characteristics of IBS to light.

The digestive disorder is a serious condition that is surprisingly common, but can be managed effectively with the right help.

We have listed various lifestyle changes that can make a big difference to those suffering from IBS. Many find seeing a nutritionist particularly helpful for improving their quality of life and reducing the impact the condition has on their health and well-being.

National Salt Awareness Week is an annual event pushed by Action on Salt to encourage people to take notice of their salt consumption and make healthier food choices.

Unfortunately, a number of adults and children in the UK are eating more than the recommended 6g of salt a day. This is putting their health at serious risk.

Diabetes is a common health condition, but it is becoming increasingly more prevalent.

According to recent statistics, globally there are more than 300 million people living with diabetes. In the UK alone, 3.2 million have been diagnosed.

Of these diagnoses, 90% of people have type 2 diabetes, while 10% have type 1.
