December is Constipation Awareness Month. Constipation is a prevalent health issue that affects 20% of adults and 16% of children in the United States. Often, patients will suffer in silence due to its social stigma. In December, we raise awareness to acknowledge the various dimensions of constipation, including its physical impact, mental health connection, and the social stigma many face. Use the hashtags #ConstipationRelief and #ConstipationAwarenessMonth on social media to amplify the voices of the patient community.
With the help of patients, caregivers, and our Industry Council, IFFGD has created a survey to gain insight into the impact COVID-19 and the pandemic has had on the Gastrointestinal (GI) Illness population. We hope this will assist healthcare providers, law makers and industry partners on the future care of patients.
*Approximate time to take this survey is 7 minutes
