Can you tolerate ground flax seeds? They're high in fat and have some insoluble fiber, but also have plenty of soluble fiber to offset the fat. The result, you get plenty of extra calories. You might want to try sprinkling some on top of a safe meal and see how your body reacts. If you can handle it, you might just want to start sprinkling them on your food whenever you eat (adding them to oatmeal seems to work well, especially.)

The other thing that might work is watered down juice. Again, try it and see if it works for you, but juice is a good way to get extra calories if you just sip it all day long. It gives me D, but since you're IBS-C, maybe that'd be OK? I'm not sure.

The other thing is maybe your doctor can refer you to a nutritionist who's knowledgable about IBS (might be hard to find) to help you gain weight.

I'm sure you'll be safe as long as you keep in touch with your doctor about what you're doing. Good luck.
