hey there,

i have lost a few pounds from having IBS. I think for me it's mainly because when i have diarrhea, i'm to nervous to eat anything afterward, because i'm afraid i'll have a flare up...especially if i'm going somewhere. I haven't lost a significant amount of weight though, i think that only happens when people alter their diets to help their bowel system. Hope that helps! =]

Well I think I found out why I'm loosing so much 2lbs every time I look! I read an article that alot of people w/IBS have parasites so I did the stuff the person tried that got rid of them & wow, I went like crazy & I thought it was blood but when I looked closer it almost looked like similar to a small end of shrimp. I looked it up & it's called intestinal fluke parasites. They are red because it's my blood they suck along w/food etc. I'm gonna keep this up & see if I gain weight.
