Hello and thank you for your question.
The only way to gain weight is to increase the calories that you are taking in on a daily basis. You must first find foods that do not make your IBS symptoms worse then eat more of those. A balance of carbohydrates, fats and proteins is healthy but fats have the highest density of calories. Just make sure you avoid fast food, processed food and food with additives to stay as healthy as possible.
Regards
Dr. Robinson
