Suffering With IBS. What Medicine Do I Take?
Hi I suffer with IBS quite alot but since starting a calorie counting diet, I first didnt get any IBS, now suddenly its flared up and Im suffering with it alot!! Also having lost half a stone with this diet in 4 weeks.....my weight seems to be creeping back on because of the IBS...is the weight gain normal and is this just my body getting used to this new diet?

Hello! IBS is of many types like IBS-D, IBS-C and IBS-M and accordingly they are treated. But you havent mentioned your symptoms.Please upload your symptoms soon. Also see carefully have you really lost weight or not, if yes then how much and whether it can be due to diet restriction done voluntarily. Also tell about other symptoms like fever, pain abdomen, appetite, any blood in stool.So please make clear about this all, further advise can be given accordingly. I hope this will help you. Keep in touch
