weight loss on IBS
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi All,
I would like to ask if you are experiences with unexpected weight loss on IBS? I have read that it is possible, some articles says its not.
Another one : do you experiences that pancreatitic enzymes helps you to releave / lower your symptoms as abdominal pain, weight loss, diarrhea?
I am confused as my symptoms says it could be cronic pancreatitis but my doctor says pancreas is ok in organic way its just functional disorder + IBS.
Thanks.

I've struggled with my weight a lot. I went down to just over 7 stone from nearly 9 in the space of well, not long. I have IBS-D so any food that went in would come out normally within minutes so weight always just got lower.
What are pancreatic enzymes? I've not heard of this before..
Hope you're okay!

What's helped me out some on is papa johns pizza haha. For some very bizarre reason, I can eat that and be fine! Try finding a very bad food for you that doesn't make you funky and see if that helps!

I have to admit that pizza is fine for me too....
Do you take any drugs to support your digestion?

I've tried things in the past, but it gets to a point where medication stops working on me and right now I'm on nothing but strong painkillers.
I'm seeing a dietician next month so hoping they'll be able to help with that. What are you taking?

Doctors says pancreas si fine. But I have asked for digestion enzmyes (kreon,...).It helps to digest as much as possible and that works for me.
I put some weight on and my pain is less. generally I have pain after meals.

I have lost a lot of weight in acute episodes of IBS. Would be in the bathroom about 10 times a day. It is possible.
