# IBS or Gastroenteritis

IBS or Gastroenteritis

Individuals with a history of IBS must declare this condition for cover if they were prescribed medication or received treatment within the last 2 years (reduced to 1 year for direct policies). 

If you are awaiting a diagnosis for IBS or to find out what is causing it, we are not a suitable provider. However, if you are diagnosed but awaiting treatment/surgery, we can offer a policy excluding cancellation and curtailment for anything directly or indirectly related to this treatment/surgery.
