My doctor believes I have IBS. I am not that familiar with this condition, it started about 6 months ago, while working out 4-5 times a week, with rapid weight gain, 12 pounds in a week and a half. This continue every month with water weight gain for my period,but I never shed the weight, finally the heavy bleeding began each tie I had a bowel movement, along with severe pain in the left side of my colon. After catscans and a colonosopy and lots of bloodwork, my thyroid sugar and all my biopsies are normal. I am now taking Align and eating a special diet which has taken away the pain and bleeding and also relieved the constipation, but the weight gain is going nowhere, I lost 4 pounds on my first day of the diet, but I still carry 40 extra pound of extra weight all in my abdomen, people are still asking me if I'm pregnant. Does this sound like IBS?
