I have IBS -D I get semisolid stools once or twice, sometimes when it triggers I get loose stool 3-4 times for 2-3 days and I loose weight about 2.5 kg which I never gain back?
That is frustrating I can understand. The first step in IBS is to find your trigger foods. Which foods trigger your urge to defecate, and then make a list of those foods. Start with a low FODMAP diet and avoid dairy and gluten completely for the forseeable future till your gut stabilizes. The weight loss is because of the inflamed gut which is preventing meaningful nutrient absorption. I would recommend booking a consultation with our doctors so we can give you a proper diet plan and work on improving your weight and nutrition as well.
IBS with diarrhea and weight loss together is a sign that the gut lining is inflamed and absorption is significantly impaired. A structured gut healing plan that addresses both the lining and the bacterial balance is what allows weight and nutrition to recover.
Your doctor wasn't wrong to prescribe what they did. Antacids reduce acid. PPIs suppress production. Antibiotics kill bacteria. Each treatment does exactly what it's supposed to. What conventional medicine doesn't provide is the next step — healing the damage those years of medication left behind, and rebuilding the gut so it doesn't need the medication anymore. That's where Thavira Health comes in. Our AYUSH-certified doctors treat the gap between symptom management and permanent healing. Join our information-packed webinar to understand what that gap looks like — and how to close it: thavira.health.
