Ok ladies, I want to know if anyone else out there has more problems with IBS when they also have menstrual cramps, or are ovulating. Twice a month my IBS is so bad I can barely eat.
Second, No matter how hard I try, I can not seem to loose weight. I do have a bad gallbladder on top of the IBS, anyone know if this is normal?? I barely eat, an yet I have not lost a pound. Posted on 03/15/08, 10:03 am |

that is how it is for me too. I can sometimes drink water and gain 2 lbs. and bloat up. It becomes very depressing b/c I feel like I starve myself and still can/t fit into my clothes. I haven/t figured out what to do .

if u don't eat on a regular basis then ur body stores the food incase coz it doesn't know when its gonna get some more that's why skipping breakfast doesn't help u lose weight
