Have you told your doctor about this? Irritable Bowel Syndrome is common
with enod however, weight lose typically doesn't happen though. That si
more associated with Crohn's disease. I would make an appt wth a
gastroenterologist for asap to get this cleared up. Just my opinion and
what I would do.
Good luck. I hope you start feeling better.
