Finding a better way to deal with irritable bowel syndrome

No one likes talking about their bowel movements, but one in 10 Australians suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, a condition that can bring abdominal pain as well as irregular and unexpected bowel movements.

Professor Jane Andrews, Senior Gastroenterologist at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, joins Life Matters to discuss a screening test she thinks needs to made available to more patients.

Some people dealing with IBS also share their experiences.
