Not necessarily. From my knowledge, certain things can cause IBS to flare up: foods, stress, etc. Weight could have been a trigger, but it may not have been. So, if you do lose the weight, I cannot say for sure that your IBS symptoms will disappear with the weight. However, I do know that if you concentrate on a healthy lifestyle, primarily strict healthy eating habits, you will lose the weight, and thus eliminate IBS attacks. At least, that is what happened with me. I was not obese by any means, but I was overweight. I lost 20-25 lbs. in a matter of weeks. I know that that is not exactly healthy, but I had no choice. I started eating better and the weight just disappeared. Since then, I have been concentrating on consuming fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, low fat meats, and grains. I do not consume anything with yeast, gluten, sugar, wheat, or dairy. Not everyone has intolerances as bad as I do, but if you research books on IBS and yeast intolerances, you will find ideas upon how to decide if you have any of these intolerances. I guarantee that if you have any of these intolerances, and you start to no longer consume these products, you will lose the weight as well as the IBS attacks. I hope this is helpful and I wish you the best at overcoming your IBS!
