anyone ever lose weight during a IBS flare up or is it just me? or can it be depression or anxiety thats causing it? i have no apetite but i still force myself to eat, i find anytime i have a flare up i lose weight.
Yes, me. Half the time I don’t feel like eating the other half i’m afraid to eat. Anxiety plays a roll but if I felt good I would be able to eat.
it freaked me out my doctor seen me and said i did not look healthy , am losing too much weight too fast, honestly when she seen me i was in a flare up stage, so i did lose weight and the funny thing its been 2 months since the scale move for me but when i feel good like you said i eat. am honestly freaked out though, she wants to run blood test from head to toe for me, it make me think something is really wrong with me.
I too do not feel like eating and am frightened eating will make me worse which causes more Anxiety and makes things even worse.
However, I do not lose weight and my tummy is always bloated.
I’ve lost a lot quickly too due to a flare up. If they could make us actually feel better we’d eat.
I also thought that since i’m in a flare up, I’m trying to eat the FODMAP foods, which many I don’t even care for. If I could eat my bad foods I wouldn’t have lost as much weight but they affect the flare up!!
It’s likely to be a combination of things: not eating/eating less, anxiety, bouts of diarrhoea causing food not be be absorbed properly, food not digesting well and being left behind in stools
i was thinking that too am under so much stress right now its like i can feel it. am only constipated or when i go little comes out to nothing,
the bloated feeling is so uncomfortable and i feel maybe thats why am feeling full do fast
exactly my issues too, i dont care for most the foods on there either i only picked the ones i like and stick to it but when i do slip up i pay the price and even my period made everything else worst
tell me about it, its like i like losing the weight cause am abit overweight but feeling unwell isnt making anything better
and the constipation leads to lack of appetite
Guess im the opposite, i seem to gain weight as my appetite increases

wow i didnt know that, do you know why constipation cause it?
i am like this too most the time but this time in a long time this is what am dealing with, maybe the depression?
It’s the waste products backing up in your colon that can make you feel toxic. Lack of appetite/nausea is one of my symptoms if my constipation goes on for l long time.
I’m often constipated a d either I have no urge to go or very little comes out.
how long has this been going on? mine has been awhile too. prior to this bout ive had a strong appetite although always had bouts of D from eating sonething i shouldnt have but I’d bounce right back
mines been going on for a whole week now and even my acid reflux acted up too
