Living with #ShortBowelSyndrome?

We are excited to announce the launch of the #LetsTalkSBS guide. We are a proud contributor to this resource co-developed by SBS patient advocates, medical professionals, and Ironwood.

This guide helps prepare for medical appointments and discuss personal goals with your care provider. You’ll find answers to common questions and simple tips and checklists to help you understand your condition and communicate your needs, fears, and accomplishments.
