The 2025 Senate Joint Resolution 25, introduced by a group of senators and representatives, commends the IBS Patient Support Group for recognizing April 17 through April 19, 2025, as World IBS Days. The resolution highlights the impact of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a gastrointestinal disorder that affects up to 20 percent of the population, or over 35 million Americans. It emphasizes the often undiagnosed nature of the condition and the significant decline in quality of life for those affected, who frequently suffer in silence due to the stigma surrounding their symptoms.

In support of IBS awareness, the resolution notes the efforts of various Wisconsin organizations, including the IBS Patient Support Group, in raising public awareness, exploring innovative therapies, and providing educational resources for patients. Additionally, it mentions that the Daniel Hoan Memorial Bridge in Milwaukee will be lit purple on April 18 to show solidarity with IBS patients. The resolution encourages all Wisconsin residents to engage with organizations and activities that promote awareness of IBS and directs the senate chief clerk to send a copy of the resolution to the IBS Patient Support Group.
