if your symptoms are so troublesome and you've lost so much weight, than i questions the diagnosis "mild..."

has no one sent you for a colonoscopy? that's really needed to rule out other things that could cause problems.

you should also tell your doctor you want to be tested for celiac sprue.

these are very important steps to take. ruling out other problems is the only way to diagnose IBS. do you have a choice as to which doctor you see? i would ask for a referral to a GI doctor/gastroenterologist who can examine you and do the rule-out tests.
