I'm guessing your weight loss could be these three possibilities. 1. you are not eating enough for fear of getting sick 2. you aren't digesting your food because you possibly have D too often (don't think it is this) 3. you actually have another GI malfunction like Chrones or celiac sprue (I think it is this) Do the other tests ASAP. It usually is good to start with the easiest and move to the more difficult, but personally I feel your losing weight like that is not FI or LI but something else. There is scientific evidence that probiotics have worked in the few clinical trials that have been done, but there is no evidence that it works for everyone (didn't for me).
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
