Data from two previously validated instruments, the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP) and selected items from the Bowel Disease Questionnaire (BDQ), were collected and scored. Patients showed significant short- and long-term improvement in symptoms and some health promoting behaviors after attending a prescheduled, intensive, structured IBS educational class. However, a consistent relationship between healthy lifestyle behaviors and specific IBS symptoms did not correspond with this improvement.
