Hi everyone,

So I'm back cuz it seems im starting to see old symptoms coming back. They are: Hair loss, nails breaking, gas, general intestinal upset & weight loss. I went thru this before and ended up losing 30 lbs. I dont have constipation this time or diareah. I think this is all do to malabsorbtion from my IBS. Does anyone out there have any ideas to conquer this? Currently Im taking a probiotic & Citrecell. Ive lost 2 lbs this week alone and I really dont want to go back down this road. Please help!!

Are you eating according to Heather's Eating for IBS diet? Have you tried to use the FODMAP diet which has been clinically shown to be effective for managing IBS symptoms? If no then you can read about it in the first three links in my signature. Or talk to your GI doctor for a referral to a dietitian that knows this diet. It integrates well with the EFI diet.

If would be helpful if you would list the foods and snacks you are eaten in the last 2-3 days. It might give us some clues to assist you
