I have been having very loose stools, yellow orange in color for months. When I eat I get dizzy and sweaty, and have droped 20lbs in 1 month. The dr says my liver tests are ok. And he doesnt think I have a gall blader problem. This thing is driving me crazy. I dont know what to do.

Hi,

Just checking if your doctor has referred you to a gastroenterologist? If not..I would suggest you request to be sent to one.

I Agree, Make A Appointment With A Gasterinoligist(spelling?)
I Had A Colonoscopy And The Scope Down My Throat. They Can Find Out Alot By These Test. I Was Told I Have Celiac Dieases And Acid Reflux. I Felt No Symntoms Thou, Exept A Little Bloating.
If You Have Unexplained Weight Loss It Worth Looking Into.
My Mom Was Diagnios With Ibs. She Lost Her Appetite And Would Experiance Diarrea. They Found It By Doing The Throat Scope.

Hope This Helps,
Petals

Hello,
I know how you feel the dizziness and sweating...and of course the big D right after eating.....I was told by my doctor that it was IBS but when the symptoms did not go away i requested to see a GI doctor. Within one month he had diagnosed a imflamitory bowel disease called ulcerative colitis. Not saying that this is what you have but wanted to give you this advice.....GO TO A GI......Weight loss is never normal and is a common symptom in IBD's....
