Schaffhausen, Switzerland, 29.04.22 - IBS affects 10-15% of the European population, but less than 2% are correctly diagnosed. Many individuals have been suffering for many years. IBS is a chronic disorder which strongly affects the quality of ones life. A group of symptoms occur together, including repeated abdominal pain and changes in bowel movements, which may be diarrhoea, constipation - or both. Other typical symptoms are bloating, distension, flatulence and borborygmi. As the main cause of IBS is not definitely known, treatment focuses on the symptoms.

PROIBS® - to help patients treat IBS symptoms
PROIBS® is a certified medical device for the treatment of IBS symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating and unsettled bowel movements (diarrhoea and/or constipation). PROIBS® contains AVH200®, derived from the plant Aloe barbadensis. Mill. AVH200® has gel forming components which support the intestinal mucosal barrier.
