ibs tales - personal stories of ibs
Are you gluten-free and in the UK?
A company is looking for your opinion on gluten and wheat-free food, and there's a chance of a prize if you can help. All you need to do is complete a very short four-minute online survey and you will be automatically entered into a £100 prize draw.
Please only complete the survey if you live in the UK. You don't have to have an IBS diagnosis to take part though, you just need an opinion on gluten and wheat-free products! To take the survey just click here.
