(PRWEB) November 1, 2005 -- What do Tyra Banks, Camille Grammer and Cybil Sheppard all have in common? They all suffer from irritable bowel syndrome – along with a reported 20% of the rest of the population.

The disorder can be debilitating, depressing and down right embarrassing.

IBSDiva.net offers visitors a clearinghouse of useful information on all aspects of irritable bowel syndrome. The editors of IBSDiva.net have combed the Internet for just the right Web sites, gathered them in one location and categorized them based on a series of issue related to the functional disorder.

“Yes I have irritable bowel syndrome, but I’m still fabulous,” boasts the IBS Diva, an animated character on the Web site, guiding visitors through the online experience that is www.IBSDiva.net.

The IBS Diva’s motto is, “Having irritable bowel syndrome doesn't have to be a death sentence. There are ways not only to cope but to thrive and live a happy, healthy life.”
