What Causes Loose Bowels With Undigested Food Particles?

Hey, I have symptoms of IBS-D for over 1 and a half year, irregularly however. My stools generally have undigested food particles such as skins of onions and tomatoes or if not, they will be loose. There s some kind of smell that comes from them. The same odor would come if I have acidity I think. As far as I have read about IBS, all this is understandable as I have had very irregularities in eating. However, what really concerns me are 2-3 things. 1st say about a month back, I had a couple of experiences with tarry stools again with the urgency of going to the washroom, like it always happen. Now I ignored this then because I thought it was normal. The stools have not been tarry after that. Secondly, I think I have lost about 3-4 kgs of weight offlate in about a couple of months. Thirdly the acitidity smell with the stool. Any help would be much appreciated. Akash

You should stick to healthy diet added with fruits and vegetables along with plenty of water. Avoid eating junk food. Follow your timetable strictly. Do some physical activity like walking, jogging or do some meditation or yoga to relax and detoxify your body. your main problem is red tarry stool that is because of bleeding inside food canal.
