Summary

In this randomized controlled study in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) we plan to compare the effects of a structured patient group education (IBS school) with receiving only written information in the form of a IBS-guidebook. The effects of the interventions on GI and psychological symptom severity, knowledge and quality of life will be assessed with validated questionnaires at baseline and 3 and 6 months after the intervention.
