Osteopathy has been shown to be effective in IBS patients in few studies and to improse IBS-like symptoms in a short series of Crohn patients. IBS-like symptoms are frequent in patients with ulcerative colitis in remission (about 20 %). The aim of this interventional, randomized single blind study is to evaluate the impact of 3 sessions of osteopathy on Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms in 50 patients (randomisation 1:1) with ulcerative colitis in remission (defined by fecal calprotectin < 200 µg/g). The two group of patients will have 4 sessions of osteopathy (M0, M1, M2, M3). The "treated group" will have 3 sessions of osteopathy testing followed by osteopathy treatment (M0, M1, M2) and a final testing session at M3. The "untreated group" will have 4 sessions of only testing osteopathy (M0, M1, M2, M3). Primary end-points : Irritable Bowel Syndrome Severity Scoring System (IBS SSS) at 3 months (M3) Secondary end-points : Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire ol, Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue at M3, evaluation of osteopathic dysfunctions between M0 and M3, questionnaire for use of medication for IBS between M0 and M3
